I am upgrading from 5.1 to 5.2/Intel and I get a signal 11 and my installation stops.
This could be 1 of several things: 1) You need to rebuild your RPM database in the original distribution (see the RedHat FAQ). 2) You have a hardware problem (see the RedHat FAQ and the Signal 11 FAQ). 3) You have a problem with your partitions. On my machine, I had created a symbolic link from /var/tmp to /usr/var/tmp. When I tried to install, the software would install 3-4 packages, then crash with a signal 11. Restoring the original /var/tmp fixed the problem.
