Hello, I just bought RedHat Linux 5.0 for Intel. I tried to install it,
but when it started copying GNU libc (filename starts with glibc), it
says it can't unpack, then later on another file, it says something like
path/file not found and kills the whole installer. I'm booting from the
first RedHat Linux 5 CD-ROM. I set it to install nothing on the screen
where it asks to install things like X Windows, Development stuff, etc.
Before, it gave me problems with GNU libc saying it received some signal
11, and it killed the whole installer. I don't know exactly what I did
that fixed that, maybe a BIOS setting or hardware configuration; I
accidentally dropped a screw in my system and had to take everything
apart trying to find it. When I put all of my hardware back and booted,
it reset my BIOS settings. Then, that signal 11 thing went away.
Hardware Info:
I am using a 1GB Maxtor EIDE harddrive (1st IDE device), the first
partition is 700MB for Win95, the second partition is somewhere around
200MB Linux (set to mount as / ), and the third is 32MB Linux swap. I
have an AMD k6 200MHz w/MMX; I also tried using my old AMD k5 75MHz chip,
but it did the same thing. I have 48MB 60ns 72-pin EDO RAM, a old Maxtor
129MB hard drive (4th IDE device) with 1 DOS partition, a Creative PC
DVD-ROM drive (2nd IDE device, ATAPI), a MPEG decoder board, a Syquest
EZ135 Parallel port drive (for Windows) on LPT1, a B/W QuickCam on LPT2:,
a SoundBlaster 64 AWE, a GraphicsBlaster 3D w/4MB, a Boca Data/Fax 33.6
modem on COM3:, a BCM SQ594 motherboard w/512 PB cache and dual EIDE, a
MS compatible mouse on COM1:.
Please reply ASAP. Thank You.
