From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: After booting from the Redhat Linux 9 CD and pressing [Enter] on my notebook, the screen displays just some colors. If I try to change the console, the colors appear there as well. Adding parameters like "noprobe" or "lowres" didn't help. The notebook has a SiS630 graphics card. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from CD 2. Start the installation Actual Results: The screen fills with colors. Expected Results: The installation should start. Additional info: I installed Redhat on other machines from the same CD's. Redhat Linux 8.0 works fine on my notebook, but not the new version!
