From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-22smp i686; Nav) installation problem w/ Fisher. video card: 3D Blaster, Nvidia RIVA TNT2 32 MB (AGP) SMP kernel (but probably not related to problem). problem: after boot disk detects scsi card and goes into 2nd stage loading, I briefly see some messages, including: "cannot open /dev/fb0", and then the screen goes blank. None of the virtual consoles show anything. Control-alt-del reboots, but that's about all that I can do. text mode install works fine. note that nofb, lowres, and text are all the same (i.e. all the exact same text mode install) - I would have expected different based upon the 3 different invocations. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.video card: 3D Blaster, Nvidia RIVA TNT2 32 MB (AGP) 2.boot from fisher disc 1 & do grapgical install. 3. Actual Results: in 2nd stage install, get the message "cannot open /dev/fd0" - screen goes complete blank and can only reboot at this point Expected Results: gui install screen
Re-assigning product to "Red Hat Linux Beta", version "beta 3". Greg, you were not on the testers-list e-mail list when I requested that beta-team members file defects against the product "Red Hat Linux Beta" under "beta 3" for fisher. Now you know. Sorry for the abrupt change -- we track beta-team bugs differently from public-beta bugs/
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Florence Release-Candidate #1
Can you try saying 'linux vga=788' at the syslinux boot prompt? Does anything different happen? Also, how did Red Hat Linux 7 behave on this system? Did you have the same problems?
Have you had any luck resolving this issue?
