Error message as follows: running /sbin/loader install exited abnormally -- received signal 11 VC4 shows the last step as: looking for usb controllers Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. make 7.3 install floppies 2. boot machine 3. watch installation exit Additional info:
OK, after reading some of the other bugs and lots of rebooting I can get past the sig11 in the bootup by passing nousb (the machines have no usb at all). With that I can get part of the way into a network install before getting another sig11. It transfers over netstg1.img fine, finds the network card gain, then VC3 reports: * load module set done. * looking for video cards requiring agpgart module This doesn't seem to be the same regardless of trying a text install or passing noprobe on the boot line. Is there any way I can avoid probing for this hardware?
How much RAM does the box have?
24MB
Well 32MB is the minimum supported for installs. Sorry if you were given the impression this would work.
