Description Kurt Ludwig 2001-06-20 13:15:04 UTC 
Description of Problem:
on an AlphaStation 500, the installer dies when trying to use the standard 
install method

How Reproducible:
start an install of RedHat 7.1 using bootflags "0"


Steps to Reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 

Actual Results:
the installer dies and prompts you to reboot your Alpha

Expected Results:

For anaconda to start correctly

Additional Information:
	
might this be because of the default TGA card in the AS500?

here's the traceback:

Probing for mouse type...
Traceback (innermost last):
File "/usr/bin/annaconda", line 314 in ?

Comment 2 Brent Fox 2001-06-26 18:15:44 UTC 
The X configuration section has been completely rewritten, so this issue should
not appear in future versions.
