After botting up using the boot disk and going through the first couple screens (text mode), it prompts me to input what hard drive the Red Hat/RPMS and Red hat/base files are located. Having only one hard drive I select that one, then after a few seconds I get a message that says "install exited abnormally--received signal 7 sending termination signals....done sending kill signals....done unmounting file systems..... /tmp/hdimage /dev/pts /proc You may safely reboot your system" Please advise? Thanks
A signal 7 indicates that the machine ran out of RAM in performing the operation, so I would have to say this is the problem. The hard drive install is a very memory intensive operation and takes quite a lot more memory than the NFS and CDROM installations. I would recommend one of these installation methods if you are installing on a machine with little RAM.
