[SLUG] Redhat 6.2 install experience (signal7 or 11 errors)

[Adrian Chiang <adrian@nospam.access1.com.au>]

Hi Slug members,

a few weeks ago I posted a message saying I had trouble installing
Redhat 6.2. 

Problem:
I kept getting signal 7 and signal 11 during installation.
I checked the help page on Redhat's FAQ and it suggested hardware
problems
like RAM.

Solution:
It was nothing to do with the hardware (phew).
I found the problem to the CD-R that was made. My Pentium75 with quad
speed cd
was having trouble reading this particular CD-R. So what I did was
make a copy but burning it at 2x speed. 

And now the install works fine! 

(stating the obvious...) I noticed that if the Redhat Installer takes 
a long time to come up, the cd drive is probably having trouble reading
the CD. 
(shouldn't take more then a minute from boot floppy disk...)

btw: the disk was purchased at a local linux merchant.

have fun!

Adrian.
