Description of problem: After installing and logging in the first time as root the system locks if I specify my own partitioning scheme. If I accept the default and format option it boots and seems to work just fine until I reboot and then I get a blank screen where the login screen should be. I have a RAID 0 array and a RAID 5 array and was setting mount points on both and dual Xeon EMT64 bit processors. This config seemed to work fine in Core 4. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time I specify my own partioning scheme 4 times thus far. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install with Server and application development selected 2.Enter in first login information 3.Login as root 4.Reboot the system 5.System will go through normal start up process and then when login screen should display monitor flashes and then goes blank with no signal. Actual results:Can't use system Expected results: Be able to login Additional info:
I found out I can boot into text mode after the first login. I think what is happening is the video driver for my ATI RAGE XL is not working correctly. You can see everything upon boot until just before the GNOME login screen. I changed it to boot into multiuser mode and it is up and running. Is there a fix out there so I can get this to boot into graphical mode with my video card? Thanks,
This is the Radeon X_64 driver issue that has been documented on several other sites.
(In reply to comment #2) > This is the Radeon X_64 driver issue that has been documented on several other > sites. In comment #1 you claim your video hardware is "ATI RAGE XL", which is an ATI Mach64 chipset, not a Radeon chipset. If you really do have a Rage XL chip, then it defnitely is not a Radeon driver issue. Start your system in runlevel 3, then run: system-config-display --reconfig Then run "startx" to start the X server. After this, attach the X server log file and config file to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments. This information will tell us exactly what video hardware you have, and what driver is being used, along with a lot of other useful diagnostic information we require. Once we have this information, we can review it and try to diagnose. Thanks in advance.
Created attachment 130635 [details] log file per request. When I ran startx the gui loaded just fine however when I changed it back to run level 5 and reboot the screen goes blank right before Xwindows should run.
