:Hello All. : :I've tried to install a system from 1.5.1-Devel iso-image :(LATEST-Devel.iso.bz2, 07-Mar-2006). After creating subpartitions :installer fails when trying to transfer files to new filesystem with the :message: : :Added 30 total items to copy source table :dfuibe_installer in free():error:chunk is already free :pid 682 (dfuibe installer), uid 0: exited on signal 6 (core dumped). : :Anyway, system installing process continued 'by hand' got it up. :Digging up a core file made no additional info for me. :Sorry for stupid question, if there was a principal change between DF1.4 :and DF1.5 in the installer or what can be the matter? :--
There is a bug in the installer where it is trying to free memory twice, and the new malloc code defaults to treating that as a fatal error. It needs to be fixed, but you can work around it by logging in as root and doing this first: ln -s a /etc/malloc.conf (note: lower case a) Then relogin as the installer and it should work. -Matt Matthew Dillon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
