Hi.
I had similar problems yesterday and this morning, and this is the way I
solved them (with a little help from my friends, Rh-list).
Ok...I'm totally stuck. I'm trying to install Redhat on a friends
computer. First I tried 7.0...when that didn't work, I then tried
6.1. THat too failed. Anaconda craps out every time when formatting
the filesystems. Throws out a 'general protection fault' and a bunch
of garbage.
In my case, I was getting these errors due to the low memory linux was
getting from the bios (13 megs, even though I actually had 128 megs). This
is what I did.
First thing - correct the low memory problem. Bios has an option to
enable/disable a "memory hole", find it and disable it (that's only for dos
I believe).
When you reboot, linux will see the full amount of memory you have, that way
you eliminate the low-memory problem permanently.
Then I started a RH 7.0 server installation and it went pretty smoothly this
time. Part of the errors I was getting in my previous attempts was due to
incorrect partition sizes that I had manually entered. Select automatic
partitioning this time.
Once the server installation is complete, since I also wanted X installed, I
went back and started a "Custom installation" but selected NOT to format the
partitions created by the server installation, I only named the partitions
to /,/boot, /usr etc. Then I selected all the services I wanted installed
including X , printing etc. configured X accordingly, let it run and
sorprise!, I got a nice server running like the wind with all the services I
wanted. Hope this will help.

Oops: 0000

etc, etc.
I have never had any problems like this, and I'm hoping that it's
not the hard disk. The computer is running a celeron 566. it's
on a slot 1 bx board with 128 MB RAM. First the install wouldn't
recognize any but 13 MB of RAM, and then I started the install with
'linux mem=127M'. The disk is a Maxtor 12.? G drive. It's the Primary
master, and the only device on that chain. There is also a cd rom
on the secondary channel. I'm clueless. Has anyone had these type
of problems before? Please tell me that there is an easy fix for
this...asside from buying a new drive. Oh, and the partition table
is as follows:
hda1 - 15 M - /boot
hda2 - 1 G - C:
hda3 - 2 G - /
hda4 - Extended
hda5 - 128 M - swap
hda6 - 2 G - D:
hda7 - 700 M - /root
hda8 - 3 G - E:
hda9 - 1.5 G - F:
Thanks.
