Despite having claimed to have been fixed in bug #163602, we're seeing the same problem on a batch of new DELL GX620's purchased last week (using RHEL4 U2). Kickstart install autodetects to use vesa driver. Manually using i810 driver fails. $ lspci -v ... 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 945G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Subsystem: Dell: Unknown device 01ad Flags: fast devsel, IRQ 11 Memory at feb00000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512K] I/O ports at e898 [size=8] Memory at e0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Memory at feac0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256K] Capabilities: [90] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit- Queue=0/0 Enable- Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2 New chipset?
OK, I lied. Testing again (without typos this time) by manually using the i810 driver *does* work. Now the problem is that this chipset isn't pnp'ing as i810.
adding to /usr/share/hwdata/pcitable: 0x8086 0x2772 "Card:Intel 945" and adding to /usr/share/hwdata/Cards: NAME Intel 945 CHIPSET Intel 945 DRIVER i810 NOCLOCKPROBE made lspci not say "unknown device" and made system-config-display --reconfig properly detect the chipset.
Re-assigned to hwdata...
Apparently a dup of bug #170517, but I can't confirm that (not authorized to view it).
Should be fixed in next hwdata package for RHEL4U4 which includes an update of the pci.ids and pcitable that has the missing entries. Cards already contains an entry for the Intel 945 chips: NAME Intel 945 DRIVER i810 NOCLOCKPROBE So should work with U4 then. Read ya, Phil
