Athlon 64 running a 64bit OS, is "x86_64" in bugzilla... Changing Platform field. Please try to do a text mode install, and then we can investigate the X problem after you've got the OS installed. If the OS won't install in text mode, then this is probably a kernel or other issue. Once you have installed via text mode, run: redhat-config-xfree86 --reconfig Then in runlevel 3, run "startx". If it fails, please attach your X server log and config file, and the /var/log/messages file as individual uncompressed file attachments using the link below. I tried a few things after the installation, but was unable to get to a command prompt. It seemed to try and fail to load the graphical login screen repeatedly. When I finally got a prompt after booting with the install CD, it didn't recognize any of the standard Linux commands, e.g. redhat-config-xfree86, xf86conifg, startx, etc. and I couldn't mount a root system on my Linux partition. I thought it might just be a processor thing, so I tried installing the i386 version of FC1. The exact same thing happened (except it correctly probed my monitor, unlike the x86_64 version) So I think it might be a problem with my computer, rather than the OS. But RH9 installed perfectly, so I'm not sure exactly what's going on. "A few seconds later, my keyboard stops responding and the caps/scroll lock lights blink." The kernel blinks the LEDs in morse code when it crashes under certain circumstances. This does not on the surface appear to be an XFree86 bug IMHO. It's either a kernel issue, or a hardware issue. I'll reassign this to the kernel component for their assessment as well. Thanks for the info. Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/ |
