I'm having problems completing the installation. I've done the following three times. 1. selected the "Skip Kernel Configuration" option 2. selected "Standard installation" 3. created a 1GB slice on a blank 5G IDE drive 4. set the slice bootable 5. selected a standard MBR 6. selected auto default partitions 7. selected "Install All components" 8. selected "Install from CDROM" 9. confirmed installation Within 5 seconds the following msg is received: A signal 11 was caught. I'm saving what I can and shutting down. If you can reproduce the problem, please turn Debug on in the Options menu for the extra information it provides in debugging problems like these. I have to suspect that the CDROM is not being accessed as I never hear it spinning up. However I watched as the Kernel was configuring itself and it does seem to identify the device correctly, SONY CDU571? I'm not sure, nor can I find any information in the book on how one goes about turning on debug for the installation. I don't see that as an option on any of the screens. How should I best proceed? Another problem that I am hitting is that if I don't accept the "Auto default partitions" and instead delete the /var and /usr partitions and then create a new /usr partition using the full space available, I will never see the Distribution menu, rather it will jump straight to the Installation Medium menu.
