install on compaq proliant 800
 

Hi there !

Has anyone an idea how to get RH9 running on my proliant 800?

I tried nearly all constellations of kernel parameters and also reduced my
hardware to a minimum, but allways I get the same problem: Right after
anaconda detected an unknown monitor the system hangs :-(((

So please help...

Just a hit in the dark, have you tried "linux text skipddc" ?

Yes, but even then anaconda tries to detect some hardware like monitor and
mouse...

Try; "linux text noprobe skipddc nomce nopcmcia nousb"

If you got it installed and cant get it to display, here is a ghetto way to fix it.

Boot Knoppix and copy the Knoppix x86.conf file into the Red Hat /etc dir.

So I also tried this without success :-(
Anaconda hangs after displaying "...: Unknown Monitor"

But thanx for the idea !!!

Boot Knoppix and copy the Knoppix x86.conf file into the Red Hat /etc dir.

This is a really new idea of installing. But how do I get RH9 running, when
anaconda hangs right before installing??

thanx for trying to help !!!

Thanks!! I didn't ask the original question, but I'm having problems
getting
XConfigurator to work on my Dell laptop. This solution worked for me.

Kind regards,
Nancy

Can you disable the video and install a different card?

No. That's under the assumptions that you get RH installed and have
problems with your X while knoppix finds it all great.

But how do I get RH9 running, when anaconda hangs right before
installing??

It's also possible that the next step after "Unknown Monitor" thingy
that's causing the problem. I am not sure what it is. I have read that
RH successfully tested in one Proliant 800, but that might be a
different hardware configuration than yours. Try to get hold of it and
see if you have anything weird.
