Description of problem: Graphical installer fails on the Intel S875WP1-E motherboard. The X server dies. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: It happened all two times that I tried it. Then, I switched to the text installer. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Configure an Intel S875WP1-E motherboard and use the on-board graphics. 2.Boot up Severn disk 1. 3.Install using defaults (hit enter). 4.Watch the X server try to start and fail. Actual results: Graphical install fails with the X server failing to start. Expected results: I would expect the graphical install to work. Additional info:
This is most likely an X server issue.
As I mentioned in bug #90988 and #101716, I am having trouble with the SATA drives on this motherboard. As a result, for the time being, I have switched to a PATA drive. After this switch, the graphic installer worked. Once the SATA problems are fixed, I will see if I still have problems with the graphical installar on this motherboard with SATA drives in a RAID Level 1 configuration.
In order to investigate, I require your X server config file and X server log file from a failed X server startup attempt. Please attach both to the report using bugzilla's file attachment feature below, as individual uncompressed files. Also attach your /var/log/messages TIA
