RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Levente Farkas 2010-07-07 16:21:02 UTC
hi,
on the same system with 512MB of ram i can install from rhel-6 i386 dvd manualy in graphical mode, while at the same time with the same command line argument i can't install it from pxe menu only in text mode because i've got and error:
not enough memory for graphical install switching to text mode.
why?
on the same system?

anyway the url:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6-Beta/html/Installation_Guide/index.html
not working ie eg:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6-Beta/html/Installation_Guide/ch-Installation_Phase_2-x86.html
gives an error page.

DVD installs can store the stage 2 image on the DVD until after filesystems have been made.  HTTP/FTP installs don't have this luxury - you've got to be able to store the downloaded image somewhere very early on, before there's any filesystems on disk.  The only place we've got is tmpfs, which unfortunately consumes memory and raises memory requirements.
