Allowing testing ended up causing significantly more problems than it fixed in our experience. Usually if it failed it also hung the machine. What is the particular hardware you have which is not being configured properly? The installation works perfectly with version 8.0. Anaconda probes the monitor, the test works, and, after the installation, everything works fine. It looks to me that version 9.0 has the wrong values for the monitor Envision EN-775e. Its range is H 30-72 KHz and V 50-160 Hz. After installing the version 9.0 and rebooting for the first time when the OS switches to graphic mode the monitor gives the message "H 20.5 Kz and V 25.4 Hz out of range". To install the version 9.0 in the graphic mode I had to use the F2 key and chose "linux lowres". I cannot understand why everything works fine with version 8.0 but it doesn't work with version 9.0 RHL 9 is actually using the values returned from the monitor, RHL 8 used the values in a table that matched the ID of the monitor. Sometimes the monitor returns different numbers than are in the database of monitors we use. You can pass 'resolution=800x600' on the anaconda command line and it will use a very conservative monitor setting during the installation. Closing due to inactivity.
