Does X try to start and fail or just never try to start?
X-server try to start and fails after the complete instalaltion is over and reboots. During installation it throws an error like the following. "Running anaconda,the RedHat Enterprise Linux Server System installer--please wait.... probing for Video card Matrox Graphics,Inc.MGA G400/G450 attempting to start frame buffer X-server Waiting for X-server to start--log located in /tmp/rmfs/X.log/ 1...2...3....4...5 Xserver started scucessfully _XllTransSocketINETConnect() Can't get address for localhost:60001:Temporarly Failure on name resolution (mini-wm:697):Gtk-WARNING** :Cannot open display : :1 " In order to avoid this in the boot prompt if i give "export DISPALY=localhost:0.0" it will proceed with the installation in non graphical mode
I think this is fixed with newer trees.
