From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.72 [en] (Win98; U) Description of problem: When running trough the installation process and the CD-rom boots and hit enter to "Install or upgrade in graphical mode", the system decompresses and runs through it's simingly normal spill. I'll get a blue screen and then the prompt stating "Running annaconda - please wait". At this point, one of two things happen. The system either locks up or I get a message that states "Install exited abnormally -- received signal 11" and commences to shut down. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot CD-Rom 2.Select "Press enter to upgrade or Install..." 3.Wait for Anaconda prompt 4.System hangs or crashes, everytime... Actual Results: System displays the following message: Running anaconda - please wait install exited abnormally -- received signal 11 sending termination signals...done sending kill signals...done disabling swap... unmounting filesystems... /mnt/runtime /mnt/source umount failed () /dev/pts /proc you may safely reboot your system Expected Results: I believe it should have prompted me with a menu to select the country I'm in. Additional info: System displays the following message: (Also see more info. below) Running anaconda - please wait install exited abnormally -- received signal 11 sending termination signals...done sending kill signals...done disabling swap... unmounting filesystems... /mnt/runtime /mnt/source umount failed () /dev/pts /proc you may safely reboot your system I spent my entire weekend doing the memory, CPU, component, cache disabling, and everything else mentioned on your web site shuffle and have had no luck in getting past anaconda. I initially attempt to install over my existing 7.0 installation that is working perfectly which has a EFA Viking II(P5VPX97-AT) mobo with an AMD K6-2 300Mhz process running 32MB of 60ns DRAM. I changed the processor to a Cyrix 6x86 PR200+ (75Mhz Bus, 7.9v) CPU and a different set of 32MB 60ns DRAM and still exactly the same results. I installed 96MB of PC-100 DIMMs and still the same results. I disable internal & external cache, took out every card except the video (which I swapped as well by the way) and still the exact same problem. I even went to a completely different system I have running Windows 98 & Redhat 7.0 as well that has a Intel 166Mhz processor on an ABIT PR-5 mobo with a different set of 32MB 60ns DRAM. EXACT SAME PROBLEM. EXACTLY. I've been running linux since 1996 (Slackware), and then Red Hat 5.2, 6.1, 7.0 (now succesfully) and attempted 7.1. Need a verbal, don't hesistate to give me a call at (603)580-1032.
When the install crashes, can you look on VC3 and VC4 and see if there are any error messages?
