Hello, I hate to have to subscribe to the Zoot list to ask a single question, so maybe you guys could help me here.
I'm trying to install RH 6.2 on a 486/40Mhz that doesn't have a cdrom in it. It's got an ethercard in it, and I've exported the cdrom mount point on my Seawolf machine. The installer comes up fine, and I successfully configure the network interface, and mount the NFS image. Everything seems to go well until a certain point which seems somewhat random, but is most often when the installer says it's "Reading Package Information". This last time I was able to get past that point and actually selected the packages to install, checked the disk for bad blocks, and then it crashed. It always exits with the same message: "installer exited abnormally -- received signal 7..." (almost verbatim). FWIW, I've had 6.2 installed on this machine for awhile. I installed the first time from a flaky CDROM drive (which has since bitten the dust), but had the exact same thing happen several times before I was able to complete the install. The signal manpage says 7==SIGBUS. Does this mean I've got a bad memory chip or other hardware problem? Any help is greatly appreciated.
