Try 'skipddc' on the command line, this will skip the monitor probe. Also you can try 'nousb'. Using the "nousb" worked. I was able to install Red Hat 8.0. Thank You very much!! |
Description of problem: The support people suggested that I open a bug on this problem. I am trying to install Red Hat 8.0 on a Compaq ProLiant 1850R server, with two PII 600MHz processes, and 1048576 Kbytes of ECC memory. It has a onboard ATI Mach64 3D RAGE II video chip. I am using a Compaq SMART-2DH Array Controller, which Red Hat 8.0 find without any problems. The ROM is at Revision p7 Date: 11/08/2000 The machine is currently running Red Hat 6.2, without any problems. I even have X runing on the console. When I used the following options suggested from support, the system locks up: linux skipddc nopass apm=off mem=1048M I get the following messages before the system locks-up" Probing for video card: ATI Mach64 3D RAGE II Probing for monitor type: Unable to probe The system lock up at this point. I tried using another video card but it had the same results. Is there any way that I can load this system? For more information look at Red Hat Service Request 222124.
