Having found out that the other consoles display info during the install i have
notised that the raid stuff apears to be the last thing that works

last message is
<6> raid 5 personality registered

hope this helps

Comment 2 enigma 2000-02-02 11:12:59 EST

Having looked further into the bugzilla db i have seen that this problem looks
alot like 7986, however, the cd i am trying to install from is not a homemade
one. I too have tried disabling the onchip and extrnal caches, again with no
effect, i have tried booting from a boot disk without success either, i am
guessing that what ever happens after the raid5 is causeing the problem, if the
problem is my hardware then knowing what happens next would maybe point me in
the right direction

Thanks

The problem you are receiving is a result of running out of RAM during the
installation, hence the signal 7 that you are getting.  The only solution to
this problem is to upgrade the RAM in your machine.
