Topic: Unexpected error!

[David]

Hi,

After the installation has copied all of it's files, I get an "unexpected error 11", and then it unmounts all the volumes and crashes.

I have tried installing it on two machines and I get the same error. One machine was a 486 DX4/100 with 40Mb Ram, and a AMD 400Mhz PC with 192Mb Ram, but produced the same error after coping the files.

The version of E-Smith I have is Version 4.0. If anyone has any ideas, please help me!


Thanks in advance
David.

Signal 11 is usually a result of hardware error, which doesn't
sound quite right in your case since you have tried on two
different machines.  You don't happen to be using the same CDROM for installation do you?  Or any shared comonents for that matter?

I am using the same harddisk, but never had a problem with it before on different versions of Linux. I'll try a different harddisk next time!

Thanks
David.

Any other suggestions?

The first thing I'd suggest is to burn a different CDROM. That's the most likely source of your problem.

I've already burnt many CD-ROM's, how many do you want me to burn?

I have gotten the same error (11) on two different Systems (P2 400, SCSI OR Athlon 1GHz, IDE) and I was using the exact same CD (4.1)...
My Hardware runs Linux fine otherwise.
