just tried to install x86_64 RHEL 5 b2 for the first time on an intel 5000P-based supermicroX7DBE+ with onboard ATI E1000 video attached to a sony Multiscan E400 monitor and anaconda correctly chose the E1000 driver, but picked a video mode that is beyond the monitor's ability to sync to.
Can you grab the X log and attach it here?
how do i do that? i aborted installation when i couldn't see what was happening. i ended up installing in text mode and my choices apparently made it so that it doesn't come up in X by default. is there an easy way to get X set up the same way anaconda would have done it? fyi: i can successfully do a graphical anaconda install on the same hardware with CentOS 4 so something must have regressed.
Sorry, reporter, for letting this bug to rot for so long. Are you able to reproduce this bug with the latest upgraded version of the released RHEL, please? X log mentioned in comment 1 is a file(s) /var/log/Xorg.*.log.
Or alternatively can we get /var/log/anaconda.xlog from the failed RHEL installation attempt, please?
Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.
