Content-Type: text/plain Date: Sat, 10 Oct 1998 11:05:10 PDT Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I have downloaded FreeBSD 3.0-19981006-BETA yesterday and I am totally new to FreeBSD. After so many attempts of installation, it returns the same error again and again. The error message that I saw from pressing ALT-F2 is: [a bunch of Debug lines that has no problem] DEBUG: uc_open: attempting to open /dev/kmem for icore DEBUG: uc_open: got isa information DEBUG: uc_open: got pci information DEBUG: uc_open: Signal 11 caught! That's bad! I tried to install by using the most basic configurations (Minimum, from Distribution Menu). On the kernel configuration screen, I choose: Storage: Floppy disk controller fdc0 IDE/ESD...... wdc0 IDE/ESD..... wdc1 Network: [didn't select any] and the rest was as default. The machine that I am installing FreeBSD has this components: ASUS P2B MOTHERBOARD (100Mhz bus) PII 350Mhz CPU 64 SDRAM 6.4 WESTERN DIGITAL HD (source where I store bin and manpages) 2.1 WESTERN DIGITAL HD (destination where I want to install FreeBSd) DIAMOND G460 VIDEO CARD REALRTK 8029AS NETWORK CARD AWE 64 CREATIVE SOUND CARD TEAC CD-532E-A CDROM And the setting for the 'slices' are as follows: / 30M swap 137M /var 34M /usr 1804M by using A to auto config, but it returns swap space error and requested 122M more swap space, so I created another one with 137M, and the 'slices' looks like this: / 30M swap 137M /var 34M /usr 1600M swap 137M If you need more information on my system or the configurations, I am glad to supply them. Also, please tell me if the components in my machine has conflict with FreeBsd. So, my question is why does the error "Signal 11 caught" occur, and how do I fix it if it is possible. Some small questions: Is my video card(DIAMOND G460) compatible with any X server besides vga16 or svga? What should be the usual size of swap space for a topical PC system?
