new Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 same thing with me :-( thats what wikipedia says: Computer programs may throw SIGSEGV for improper memory handling (see segmentation fault). The operating system may inform the application of the nature of the error using the signal stack, which developers can use to debug their programs or handle errors. The default action for a program upon receiving SIGSEGV is abnormal termination. This action will end the process, but may generate a core file to aid debugging, or perform some other platform-dependent action. For example, Linux systems using the grsecurity patch may log SIGSEGV signals in order to monitor for possible intrusion attempts using buffer overflows. SIGSEGV can be caught; that is, applications can request what action they want to occur in place of the default. Examples of such action might be ignoring it, calling a function, or restoring the default action. In some circumstances, ignoring SIGSEGV results in undefined behavior.[1]. An example of an application that might handle SIGSEGV is a debugger, which might check the signal stack and inform the developer of what happened, and where the program terminated. SIGSEGV is usually generated by the operating system, but users with appropriate permissions can use the kill system call or kill command (a userland program, or sometimes a shell builtin) to send the signal to a process at will. doesn't hepl us but its interessting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conseanery Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 i'm having the same problem, also have amd cpu (Athlon 64 X2 4200+)... anyone know what this means!? do we have to mod the iso file to fix this (I'm unsure what else could possibly work)? edit: i'm using ToH 9a581 RC2 to install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaces Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 ok, i also had this even tho i have intel, its due to both my cores being on, try and boot with -v cpus=1 , it should work. If it doesn't try changing your kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conseanery Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I tried using "-v cpus=1", but it didn't help. The problem is with booting into the installer, so I don't know how one would go about changing the installer's kernel..? I'm going to d\l the kalyway disc and give that one a try, will post back if it works, otherwise i'll wait for uphuck... speaking of uphuck, is their site down or do i have the wrong url?

EddM Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Whiz: On an AMD CPU with ToH, I don't think anything's actually going to happen. Sugest you take a look at: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=70312. I'm going to try that asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodrcort Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Just check the AMD patches on the install, and voila! this is what my install dvd hangs on now: unknown SIGSEGV code 0 can anyone tell me what this means? i am on AMD 64 using flags -v -legacy thx \, whiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webmessia Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Just check the AMD patches on the install, and voila! For me this error is coming up before the installer loads, so I can't just select the AMD patch. Is their a way to patch the ISO so it supports AMD by default? Or is their anyway to bypass this through the single user mode? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
