Oh assembled guru: I keep getting a "signal 7" abend to my attempted
installation of RH6.1 (custom, both gnome & KDE selected) onto the extended
partition (lilo to go into /boot, not mbr) of a legacy 496dx2-66 machine (20
megs of memory, 2 gigs free for linux). what is "signal 7" and how can I
avoid it? It seems to happen part way through loading packages, but long
before the disk is "full" (unless it's trying to load it into the 16 meg
/boot or the 60meg /swap...)

Hello there,

I'm having similar trouble. I keep getting a "signal 9" abend when I try and
install RH 6.2 on an IBM PS/Valupoint, 486 via ftp. There's about 300mb total
on the hdd but it doesn't make it even as far as disk druid, just goes to "going
to insmod vfat.p (path is null) and then craps out.

Any ideas?
