An 'install exited abnormally -- received signal 11' error appears on the blue driver loading screen, and it ends the installation. When attempting to use noprobe or nofirewire, the installation does the same thing but without attempting to load ohci1394. Console text is: ... running install... running /sbin/loader install exited abnormally -- received signal 11 sending termination signals...done ...

What's the last thing on tty3 when it fails?
These are the last messages on tty3: inserted /tmp/ieee1394.ko inserted /tmp/ohci1394.ko load module set done probing for firewire scsi devices modules to insert pcmcia_core yenta_socket pcmcia load module set done On tty4 I get: <6>ohci1394: fw-host0: OHCI-1394 1.0 (PCI): IRQ=[11] MMIO=[f8fff000-f8fff7ff] Max Packet=[2048] <7>ieee1394: Host added: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] GUID[334fc000169b3010] <6>cs: IO port probe 0x100-0x3af: excluding 0x170-0x177 0x280-0x287 0x370-0x37f <6>cs: IO port probe 0x100-0x3af: excluding 0x170-0x177 0x280-0x287 0x370-0x37f
Does booting with 'linux nopcmcia' help?
I'm afraid "linux nopcmcia" does not help. The installer still crashes with signal 11. On tty3 the last messages are now: inserted /tmp/ieee1394.ko inserted /tmp/ohci1394.ko load module set done probing for firewire scsi devices On tty4 I get: <6>ohci1394: fw-host0: OHCI-1394 1.0 (PCI): IRQ=[11] MMIO=[f8fff000-f8fff7ff] Max Packet=[2048] <7>ieee1394: Host added: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] GUID[334fc000169b3010] So the pcmcia messages are gone now but the installer still crashes.
Can you add 'debug' to your boot command line so that all the messages to debug level from anaconda end up on tty3. Then maybe I'll be able to better tell where it's hanging :/
I don't any additional output generated by added "debug" I tried: 1. linux debug 2. linux nopcmcia debug All the messages on tty3 and tty4 look exactly like listed ealier. BTW: Is there any way to capture the output to tty* somewhere (file, serial console)?
Try loglevel=debug instead of just "debug" to get the messages on tty3. All the output is captured to /tmp/anaconda.log during installation. You can switch over to tty2 and examine that file.
Ok, loglevel=debug gives some more output: INFO: modules to insert pcmcia_core yenta_socket pcmcia DEBUG: module(s) pcmcia_core yenta_socket pcmcia not found INFO: load module set done DEBUG: probing buses I get nothing on tty2 and there is no way to access/save /tmp/anaconda.log. After playing around a little bit I noticed that I that installer won't die at this point if I remove my Fritz!CARD PCMCIA. Strange enough the installer does not die with my no-name WLAN inserted.
I've not had a chance to try loglevel=debug yet. I'm at home, so my laptop needs to be running. My laptop has no PCMCIA cards, just a Dell Mini-PCI wireless card.
This sounds a lot like bug 174342
