[ltp] why "install exited abnormally"?

[Vasanth Rakasi]

Thanks, Brian. 
The following is what I see on the other consoles.

Alt-F1:
-------
install exited abnormally -- received signal 7
sending termination signals...done
sending kill signals...done
unmounting filesystems...
                /mnt/source
                /dev/pts
                /proc
you may safely reboot your system

At-F2:
------
bash#

Alt-F3:
-------
* in startPcmcia()
* pcmcia probe returned: |PCI bridge probe: not found.
Intel PCIC probe: i82365sl B step found, 2 sockets.
|
* need to load i82365
* going to insmod pcmcia_core.o (path is NULL)
* going to insmod i82365.o (path is NULL)
* going to insmod ds.o (path is NULL)
* cardmgr running as pid 14
* cardmgr returned 0x0

I hope this helps.

(Although there is a command prompt "bash#", I can't
type anything. I think at that stage the system is
already frozen.)
