Appendix D. Troubleshooting Your
Installation of Red Hat Enterprise
Linux
This appendix discusses some common installation problems and their solutions.
1. You are Unable to Boot Red Hat Enterprise Linux
1.1. Is Your System Displaying Signal 11 Errors?
A signal 11 error, commonly know as a segmentation fault, means that the program accessed a
memory location that was not assigned.
If you receive a fatal signal 11 error during your installation, it is probably due to a hardware
error in memory on your system's bus. A hardware error in memory can be caused by problems
in executables or with the system's hardware. Like other operating systems, Red Hat Enterprise
Linux places its own demands on your system's hardware. Some of this hardware may not be
able to meet those demands, even if they work properly under another OS.
Ensure that you have the latest installation updates and images from Red Hat Inc.. Review the
online errata to see if newer versions are available. If the latest images still fail, it may be due to
a problem with your hardware.
You can also try running the installation with only 256 MB of memory. This can be done by
booting the installation program with the
mem=256M
boot option. To try this option, at the
installation boot prompt, type:
where
xxx
should be replaced with the amount of memory in megabytes.
2. Trouble During the Installation
2.1.
No devices found to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Error Message
If you receive an error message stating
No devices found to install Red Hat Enterprise
Linux
, then there may be an issue with your DASD devices. If you encounter this error, add the
DASD=<disks>
parameter to your
parm
file (where
disks
is the DASD range reserved for
installation), and start the install again.
Additionally, make sure that you format the DASDs using the
dasdfmt
command within a Linux
root shell, instead of formatting the DASDs using CMS.
2.2. Trouble with Partition Tables
If you receive an error after the Disk Partitioning Setup (
Section 8, “Disk Partitioning Setup”
)
