Hello,

I am doing a kickstart via http and get the error:

Install exited abnormally -received signal 11.

I am using CentOS on VMWare and did an install and copied the anaconda kickstart file to ks.cfg on the http web server and am hosting the DVD.

Here is my ks file.

issue resolved:

It may be a CentOS problem, but what I did was go to the line:

## - - install type/source - - - - - - - - - - -
install
url --url http://172.20.1.208

and I did

## - - install type/source - - - - - - - - - - -
install
url --url http://172.20.1.208/

Worked fine after that.
