Re: Crash on install
Stew, Added another 32MB ram an it seems fixed. New problem now, not major, but something to look into. The Powercomputing has an onboard ATI card, and the graphical install runs, but the screen is shifted 50% to the left, so the left side of the monitor shows the middle of the picture, and it wrpas around to the right side. Installer still works, just a little goofy lookin'. Again, any ideas ?

Don't know that it will work at all. Text install definitely. You could try backing down the ramdisk size slightly, to 32000. You may still have issues when you get to disk partitioning. > Then a bunch of numbers that I don't feel like typing (but I will if it will > help 8-) > > install exited abnormally :-( -- received signal 11 > > > Any ideas ? > > Also, I have the two ISOs mounted as two separate drive letters, how do I > get the installer to find the second CD ? > Drive letters? You can't really access both ISOs on another machine/drive during the install.

Crash on install
Hi All, Trying to install mdk-ppc 9.1b2 on my PowerComputing Powercenter 150. Config as follows: PPC 604/150 64MB RAM 2GB SCSI HDD, 100MB HFS, 1.8GB Root, 128MB Swap Onboard video Onboard LAN (mace) Onboard SCSI (mesh I think) I'm doing an FTP install from another machine, and am using bootx with vmlinux and all.gz from the cooker boot folder, with a ramdisk size of 36000. I can boot the installer fine, install the mace driver, get dhcp, connect to the FTP, download the second stage install, but then it crashes. here is the message that is displayed: in second stage install Oops: kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 Then a bunch of numbers that I don't feel like typing (but I will if it will help 8-) install exited abnormally :-( -- received signal 11 Any ideas ? Also, I have the two ISOs mounted as two separate drive letters, how do I get the installer to find the second CD ? Thanks, AH
