Many older, slower systems crash with a sig 11 while running /sbin/loader. I have a PII-200 system here that does the same thing.
Just out of curiosity, you booted with boot: linux nodma in the example above? Why didn't you continue? You can install 7.3 after booting off a RH 7.2 boot disk. OK, so it's not obvious, but this install method works fine. I doubt Red Hat could/would support it, though. ;) I will say that I haven't tried this with an upgrade, only a clean install, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work as an upgrade. The comps file, the install classes, etc. will all load of the CD. Using the 7.2 boot disk just allows the system to load. After building the RULE 'miniconda' installer for the 7.3 release, I found we had the same problem with crashing on older hardware. I've built some of our 7.3 installers with an older kernel and it seems to have resolved the issue. ----------------->>>> Yeah the reason I put the list of systems up is to show this isn't just old systems. However old systems running none gui services is a huge benefit in the Linux world. I have a bunch of single service servers that work great. However, dropping off the lower than 586 line IMHO is a bad idea. Nope boot that system with: linux ide=nodma Probably should have but this is a production box (DNS server) and didn't trust my TS ways of getting it working. Might think about it again later. Instead I just updated the kernel and grabbed the latest PostgreSQL (7.2.1) from the pg site and updated the system at the 72 level.
