The following dhcpd.conf configuration will cause the redhat-6.0 installer (also under 5.2 and 5.1, none others tested) to segfault just after the DHCP or BOOTP request. subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { option routers 192.168.1.1; option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2, 203.2.192.124, 203.2.193.124; # option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1; option domain-name "melb.interline.aust.com"; range dynamic-bootp 192.168.1.193 192.168.1.250; } It will work fine if the domain-name-servers is wound back to a single entry (as per the commented field). Only 4 or 1 entries tested. Recommended fix is to not segfault (duh!), but just ignore any execess entries. (ie, if your initial nameservers are broken, you should be fixing the problem rather than installing a new redhat box ;)
*** Bug 4274 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I have tried to install RH 6.0 on a Pentium II system using bootnet.img. System has a 3com 3c900 card. I am running a FreeBSD DHCP ( ISC ) server. When it gets to requesting DHCP for an IP address I get "install exited abnormally -- recieved signal 11" message. On other consoles it indicates that address was succesfully obtained from DHCP. DHCP serves IP address, default router, DNS servers, WINS server and NetBIOS node type 0x8. If you need more information write me. ------- Additional Comments From jeld@mindless.com 07/30/99 12:52 ------- Sorry. It looks that I have encountered the same problem as is described in bug #4266. I have changed DHCP config and the problem went away. This is still a bug though :) now I have to change the dhcp.conf back and restart it just because I tried to install an RH station :)
Fixed in the latest version of the installer.
