Description Jordan 2004-11-12 01:10:13 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:

Description of problem:
Anaconda crashes during the HTTP install, while downloading the first
file (netstg.img?). The installer prints garbage to the screen, then
says it got signal 11.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Choose HTTP download, DHCP is on
2. DL site is download.fedora.redhat.com, dir is
pub/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/os
3. If the installer lets you choose packages, then it wasn't reproduced
    

Actual Results:  Same as the first time, printed garbage to screen and
said it got signal 11

Expected Results:  Go on to choose packages and complete install

Additional info:

Computer is a Gateway, pretty old (mfg. date is 08/15/1997). May be
relevant, I don't know.

Config:
PIII 600 MHz
128 MB of EDO SDRAM
DVD burner (DVD-R, can't read -RW media)
IBM 40GB as master, Quantum 6GB as slave

Can you check the memory on the machine using memtest86?
