xorg errors
Could you please attach /var/log/anaconda.xlog please as an uncompressed attachment to this bug? Thank you. I don't have an anaconda.xlog on this system. I had to do the install in text mode for it to work. Internal Status set to 'Waiting on SEG' This event sent from IssueTracker by gcase issue 168997 Could you try to do login in graphical and let if fails before any actual installation (and repartitioning and wiping up the drivers) actually happens? I can start a graphical installation or start X with 'init 5' or 'startx', but it doesn't display correctly. It's too garbled for me to do anything. I'm attaching the Xorg.0.log file from a running X session, in case that's helpful. This event sent from IssueTracker by gcase issue 168997 it_file 124481 Created attachment 298541 [details]
xorg log
dev_ack+, this could be an X server or kernel bug but needs investigation, lets start with assuming the server broke. can we get an X.org log from 5.1 with this working if possible? I'm trying to track down where it might have gone wrong. Here's the 5.1 working logs (in a sosreport). This event sent from IssueTracker by gcase issue 168997 it_file 126580 Just to be safe, I've confirmed that 5.1 allows me to boot up in runlevel 5 as well as run 'startx'. I don't know why this wouldn't have worked, I just wanted to test that too. This event sent from IssueTracker by gcase issue 168997 Created attachment 299985 [details]
xorg logs from backed-out test

fix the rom reading code to fallback to the older methods.
the latest scratch build from me in brew should have the fix, hopefully the blocker person turns up so I can actually check this in. Verified per comment #26 Dom0 startx still fails. info from Issue Tracker: Issue #168997 ([REGRESSION] RHEL5.2 installation and Dom0 can not startX in Tiger4 system.)[Intel] https://enterprise.redhat.com/issue-tracker/168997 Previous Events: ---------------- Posted 04-16-2008 09:26am by yongkang.you Hi, How is this bug? We test snapshot4 88.el5 in Tiger4. The install has graphic. But Dom0 startx still fail. I uploaded the Xorg log. Posted 04-16-2008 09:26am by yongkang.you File uploaded: Xorg.0.log https://enterprise.redhat.com/issue-tracker/?module=download&fid=128996 I just installed RHEL5.2 beta -88.el5 kernel and updated to snapshot 5 (-89.el5 kernel). Snapshot 5 isn't available due to an anaconda problem that prevents installation, but snapshot 6 will be available soon. The system did boot into runlevel 5 with the xen kernel on my tiger4 box, BUT there was one modification I had to make: When I installed, I did so in text mode. When the installation was complete, I dropped to the console (ctrl-alt-F2), went into /mnt/sysimage/boot/efi/efi/redhat and edited the elilo.conf file. I needed to add "console=tty" to the "append" line for the xen kernel, otherwise I got no console access at all when the system booted post-install. That bug's being tracked here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=252347 I'm going to install the same snapshot you used (I won't update this time) and see what happens. This event sent from IssueTracker by gcase issue 168997 I was able to do an installation of the -88.el5 kernel snapshot on my tiger4 with only the "console=tty" change I mentioned earlier. Graphical installation worked and so did booting into runlevel5 with the Xen kernel. This event sent from IssueTracker by gcase issue 168997 An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report.
