I am trying to install redhat linux 7.1 on a box with a formated 80 gig hd, and 768M Ram. Right after the step of starting x server for graphical installation it goes into the redhat screen and then it says installation ended abnormaly recieved signal 11. And it shuts down any ideas what the cause of this might be guys?

Maybe you are having a display card problem. Why not try to run the set in text mode.
At the lilo prompt... write text and press enter....

boot : text

If that too fails there is a harware problem...

Have a great day :)

No, this is not the case i tried it in text mode it does the same... I wonder what I should any suggestions guys?

Try a different cd or test the existing cd on another system. If you get the same error then it could be the cd.

I used google and here is what I got (http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=2558)
:

Signal 11 Error
When I try to compile a new kernel with custom specifications, the compile fails at approximately the mid-point, giving me an error message that reads:


gcc: internal compiler error 11.

Please tell me what this could mean.

It very likely has something to do with your hardware configuration. There is a web server dedicated to the signal 11 problem. Check out http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/. Hopefully the information there will solve your problem.

I have seen this happen on several machines. Every time the problem is a bad memory chip installed on the computer's motherboard. Signal 11 is the Segment Violation error which generally occurs when a program's pointers go awry.

gcc is a stable enough program that this should not occur during a simple compile, but it does use memory heavily, and Linux (or any Unix) is quite sensitive to bad memory.

It is also possible that a library file on your system is corrupt or incompatible with other libraries. If, however, this was the case, you should see problems in other programs as well. Library corruption should only happen if you have recently installed new libraries or modified your existing system libraries.

at the boot prompt try this:
linux mem=700M text
sometimes there is a conflict with shared memory, usually subtract amount of video memory from your actual RAM. I just chose 700 as a guess. good luck=)
