Netfinity 4000R (Intimidator, the 1U dual PIII box) Selected "Install Custom system" (text mode from cd-rom) sda => 8000MB /, 643MB swap sdb => 4337MB /tmp, 4337MB /usr/local selected "Everything" for installer (in a rush) mouse => generic 3-button ps/2 (no emul necessary) video chipset => selected Chips and Technologies CTB9000 based on video desc from http://www.pc.ibm.com/ of "Chips in Technology B6 9000" (closest match) exception occurs here, as follows: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 225, in ? intf.run(todo, test = test) File "../../../RedHat/instimage/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/text.py", line 1000, in run rc = apply(step[1](), step[2]) File "../../../RedHat/instimage/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/text.py", line 534, in __call__ todo.x.setVidcard (card) File "../../../RedHat/instimage/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/xf86config.py", line 154, in setVidcard self.server = self.vidCards[0]["SERVER"] KeyError: SERVER A "p self.vidCards[0]" in the debugger shows the chipset support was (correctly?) aliased to the 'Chips & Technologies CT65530', with a well-populated array including 'SEE' 'NAME', a long 'LINE' entry, etc but no 'SERVER' key. Perhaps just a missing 'SERVER' => 'SVGA' or similar in some chipset config file?

lspci -v of the video card: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Chips and Technologies: Unknown device 00c0 (rev 64) Subsystem: Unknown device 102c:00c0 Flags: stepping, medium devsel Memory at fd000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) This maps to kudzu/pcitable entry of: 0x102c 0x00c0 "unknown" "C&T|F69000 HiQVideo" Since neither Card: nor Server: is specified, it makes sense that the GUI install and the XF86 configuration don't work, right? I can't find the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Cards database it uses, so I'll have to assume that something in there is what was aliasing the card to CT65530
Fixed in the latest RawHide.
