I am trying to install the SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.0 or 5.0.2
and the Installation Query Manager (IQM) is failing with the
following error message:
NOTICE: ram: No space on device on device 31/50
/ramFS/instdir/iqm/iqm terminated by signal B
** Safe to Power Off **
-or-
** Press Any Key to Reboot **
where the letter B may vary. It signifies the signal(S)
(in hex) that the IQM received to cause it to dump core.
NOTE:
The Installation Query Manager is a program, loaded from
your installation media during installation. It is used
by the user to specify the keyboard type, system name and
other details required to install SCO OpenServer onto your
system.
CAUSE:
The Installation Query Manager (IQM) is dumping core and
filling the ramdisk.
There are many reasons why the (IQM) might dump core. Some of
these reasons are discussed below:
- Incorrectly configured disk and CD-ROM peripherals
- The IQM was corrupted during transfer to memory
- The area of memory that the IQM resides in is corrupt
- You are using an EIDE disk larger than 2Gbytes
- The pre-existence of a Windows 95 partition on the disk
- Possibly other, as-yet-unknown, reasons
