From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: Packaged installer uses incorrect settings for AcerView 54e monitor when configuring XFree86... Horizontal rate should be 30-54, vert rate should be 50-110. Most difficult part was figuring out how to change the runlevel to 3 so that graphical login is not used. Need section in installation manual describing how to force lower runlevels (boot with "linux 3" from boot disk). Most references have you edit /etc/inittab which is correct but you can't do this when the graphical login screen does not work! Jeff Ludwig (jeff -at- rockytop.net) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Additional info:
While this information is not explicitly in the manual, there is a brief section on rescue mode in the boot loader configuration content (http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/install-guide/s1-x86-bootloader.html#S2-X86-BOOTLOADER-RESCUE) that refers the reader to the Red Hat Linux Customization Guide -- where you can find more information on booting into a safe enviroment (http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/custom-guide/ch-rescuemode.html). However, we will look into adding more content of this type to future editions of the Installation Guide. Thanks for your feedback!
