Does it die after all packages have been installed or before?
Response on question "Does it die after all packages have been installed or after". Ref Additional comment by msf on 2002-10-23 11:43:28 Answers:- Conditional:- using graphical installation (GRUB or LILO choice) exception occurs at "Begin Installation" (ie after Package Group Selection has been completed). Exception reads on screen as File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py," line 786, in handleRenderCallback......... Unable to make a floppy copy, as screen buttons do not function (Back, Next, Debug, Save to Floppy, OK, Hide Help). However, Release Notes button works ?? Note, Exception file report NOT same as originally attached to this bug report, exception floppy report genterated from a linux text installation. Linux text installation, using choice of GRUB or LILO now fail AFTER Group Packages have been selected and at the "Prepare to Install" message. Get:- Received Signal 11, Install exit, Sending Kill, Disable Swap,,.....
Change in memory size on PC platform resolved problem, Bug #76489. Installed additional memory (double to 96MByte). Installation now completes and system boots (graphical and text modes of installation). On system re-booting after successful installation still have video display corruption/failure but that is another problem. If same problem is experienced by others maybe an installation trap be considered to test for sufficient memory and alarm as appropriate. I consider this problem closed.
