Hmmmm... I have seen that on one PC at work, which seemed to work OK on Windows 2000 and FreeBSD but gave "Signal 11" errors on installation of RH7.2.
From RedHat's site:
quote:
Is Your System Displaying Signal 11 Errors?
If you receive a fatal signal 11 during your installation, it is probably due to a hardware error in memory on your system's bus. A hardware error in memory can be caused by problems in executables or with the system's hardware. Like other operating systems, Red Hat Linux places its own demands on your system's hardware. Some of this hardware may not be able to meet those demands, even if they work properly under another OS.
Check to see if you have the latest installation and supplemental boot diskettes from Red Hat. Review the online errata to see if newer versions are available. If the latest images still fail, it may be due to a problem with your hardware. Commonly, these errors are in your memory or CPU-cache. A possible solution for this error is turning off the CPU-cache in the BIOS. You could also try to swap your memory around in the motherboard slots to see if the problem is either slot or memory related.
For more information concerning signal 11 errors, refer to http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/.
So, if you've got more than one DIMM in your system, try swapping them around, and try turning off the CPU-cache as suggested above.
To be honest I didn't bother trying this on the system I had at work, 'cos FreeBSD did what I needed to do and worked, so I used that. But it is most likely a hardware problem.
Have you previously successfully used a RedHat OS on that exact hardware configuration?
