Description of problem: When installing RHEL3U2B WS x86_64 on a ia32e box, the install is in text mode and once the install completes, X will not start because there is no XF86Config file. On the flip side - when installing RHEL3U2B WS IA32 on the same HW, the install is graphical and X starts fine. The graphics is PCI NVIdia NVS280 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.21-12 anaconda-9.1.2-0.RHEL.20040330155035 XFree-4.3.0-62 How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1a. Install RHEL3U2 Beta WS x86-64 w/ NVS280 on ia32e - it's always in text mode. 1b. X fails with Fatal server error: no screens found 2a. Install RHEL3U2 Beta WS ia32 2/ NVS280 on x86_64 - it's always graphical. 2b. X succeeds Actual results: NVS280 installs textually and X fails to start Expected results: NVS280 installs graphically and X starts Additional info: RHEL3U2Beta WS - IA32 and x86_64 behaved differently
Is there a comment about no video hardware found, assuming headless?
Yes! No video hardware found, assuming headless? DISPLAY varaible not set. Starting up text mode!
Okay, I have this fixed for the final U2 release then.
Confirmed - it's fixed. Thanks!
