Description of problem: The support people suggested that I open a bug on this problem. I am trying to install Red Hat 8.0 on a Compaq ProLiant 1850R server, with two PII 600MHz processes, and 1048576 Kbytes of ECC memory. It has a onboard ATI Mach64 3D RAGE II video chip. I am using a Compaq SMART-2DH Array Controller, which Red Hat 8.0 find without any problems. The ROM is at Revision p7 Date: 11/08/2000 The machine is currently running Red Hat 6.2, without any problems. I even have X runing on the console. When I used the following options suggested from support, the system locks up: linux skipddc nopass apm=off mem=1048M I get the following messages before the system locks-up" Probing for video card: ATI Mach64 3D RAGE II Probing for monitor type: Unable to probe The system lock up at this point.

Try 'skipddc' on the command line, this will skip the monitor probe. Also you can try 'nousb'.
Using the "nousb" worked. I was able to install Red Hat 8.0. Thank You very much!!
