I am having the problem that sysinstall sometimes starts dumping core. For example: sysinstall -h Bus error (core dumped) This also happens when I try to select the partition menu. Actually I noticed this behaviour first when i tried to partition a new IDE-harddisk. :-o My /stand looks like this: total 21213 -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 09:23 -sh drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 512 Jul 14 00:22 . drwxr-xr-x 19 root wheel 512 Jul 7 12:39 .. -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 09:23 bad144 -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 09:23 boot_crunch -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 09:23 cpio drwx------ 2 root wheel 512 May 8 15:03 etc -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 09:23 find -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 09:23 fsck -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 09:23 ft -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 09:23 gunzip -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 09:23 gzip drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 1024 May 8 15:03 help -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 09:23 ifconfig -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 09:23 mount_nfs -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 09:23 newfs -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 09:23 ppp -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 09:23 pwd -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 09:23 route -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 09:23 sh -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 09:23 slattach -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 454 Apr 5 09:27 symbols -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 09:23 sysinstall -rw------- 1 root wheel 1314816 Jul 14 00:22 sysinstall.core -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 09:23 zcat Is there anything wrong you can see here?
