I tried to install 8.2 (and 8.1) on an older NEC laptop and got the
following messages:
in second stage install
install exited abnormally :-(
sending termination signals...done
sending kill signals...done
unmounting filesystems:
/proc
/tmp/image
you may safely reboot your systems
I suspect this is because of the limited memory, shown by these last
entries in the logs (alt-F3):
Total Memory: 40 Mbytes
warning: ramdisk is not possible due to low mem!
stage1. disconnecting life support systems
second stage install running (DrakX v 1.684 built Sat Mar 16 12:21:08 2002)
This is on an NEC Versa 4000C, 75 MHz Pentium (I *said* it was old!
:-)) Am I doomed to install Mandrake or is there some magic boot
parameter that will save me?
