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... |

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. |

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.

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. GL V. |
