Description of problem: An FC2 install on a Dell Inspiron 4150 gets no further than: running install... running /sbin/loader Oops: 0000 3c59x ds yenta_socket pcmcia_core keybdev hid input usb-uhci usbcore sr_mod sd_m od scsi_mod ide-cd cdrom floppy loop nfs lockd sunrpc vfat fat cramfs vga16fb CPU: 0 EIP: 0060:[<c0251ffd>] Not tainted EFLAGS: 00010202 [snip] install exited abnormally -- received signal 11 with default boot options. If "nofb pci=off acpi=off" are passed, the following occurs: This got me to the "Do you have a driver disk?" screen. Upon selecting "No", I get a metric boatload of Cyrillic characters against a blue background, then back to the "install exited abnormally -- received signal 11", then more Cyrillic garbage. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda 9.0.94 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot off FC2 CD. 2. Attempt install. 3. Watch anaconda crash n' burn Actual results: Crash! Expected results: No crash! Additional info: This is occuring on a laptop which previously had RH9 installed on it successfully.
Can you see if adding either nopcmcia or nofirewire to your boot command line fixes it (just each separately). Also, what's the last line on tty3?
You _may_ actually be able to close this one out. Since the boot process never got as far as the media check, I was never able to verify the media (it mounted just fine under my RH9 box). I re-burned all three ISOs and have since successfully installed FC 0.94 on said Dell laptop.
Okay, guessing media problem since that makes some sense based on what you've said.
