Installing RH 7.0 on a 386 33MHz for routing

[gus]

OK. The subject field has the specifics of my computer.

2 NICs working just fine. A CDROM, 8 megs of ram and 200 megs of HD space. I put in the RH 7.0 boot disk and everything goes fine until it starts to "load anaconda" and then it fails. The exact error message I'm getting is this:

Running anaconda - may take some time to load...
install exited abnormally -- recieved signal 15
sending termination signals...done
sending kill signals...done
disabling swap...
unmounting filesystems...
/mnt/runtime
/mnt/source unmount failed (16)
/dev/pts
/proc
you may safely reboot your system

Could it be a bad CDROM? does anyone know what error 15 is? I know my CD is good as I've used it on another computer to install the OS. Is it just the processor power that's not letting it be successful?

Please ask if any more information is needed that I've failed to add.

I plan on using a small instalation to simply do IPMASQ for a network of 3 other computers in a lab i'm working in.

any ideas?

Thanks,
Gus

I'm not sure of the solution to your specific problem, but I did run into a situation on my computer that's similar and may help. I have a firewall/gateway computer that's a small Pentium 133 with one gig of HD. I installed Mandrake 7.2 on it and started working on gettign IP masq working and a ipchains working.

It turned out that I didn't have some things compiled into the kernel that were needed to do IP Masquerading. I went to www.linuxdocs.org (http://www.linuxdocs.org) and printed out the IP Masq HOW-TO. It has exactly what things need to be turned on in each section of the kernel configuration. I did a quick kernel recompile and then set up a port forwarding rule with ipchains and it worked.

So it *might* be a kernel issue. If so then at least it's easy to fix by simply recompiling with the right configuration.

I can't even get it to install in the first place.

Hey,

I've had the same problem 2 times. Both times replacing the cd-roms seemed to work, but the cd-rom drives still work fine, but it was burned cds, so try replacing the cd-rom drive just to install

Beleave it or not the faster you burn a cd the harder it is to read.(the laser has less time to burn a clean mark) Also the older cd drives dont have as good a laser in them as the newer drives. It can really get bad when doing cdrw disks at high speed.
