Hello,
I have a problem during installation of RedHat 6.1
on a P100 machine, 32Mb RAM, 2 * 4.3Gb HD and
an ET4000W32P video card.
It doesn't matter if I boot from CD, from boot floppy
made from CD or from boot floppy downloaded from
RedHat site, the problem always appears.
If I boot in expert mode, after saying "No additional
device drivers", here is what happens:

Probing for mouse type...
Traceback (innermost last):
   File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 133, in ?
      result = xserver.startX ()
   File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/xserver.py", line 44, in startX
      x.probe()
   File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/xf86config.py", line 170, in
probe
      self.vidCards.append(self.cards(server[5:]))
   File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/xf86config.py", line 118, in
cards
      card = cards[thecard]
KeyError: ET4000 W32i
Install exited abnormally
etc...

I thought it was a problem with the video card, so I tried
the text mode installation typing "text" at the boot prompt,
but after I choose all the packages to be installed, here is
the problem again (slightly different in the first rows,
but it should be the same problem):

Probing for mouse type...
Traceback (innermost last):
   File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 255, in ?
      intf.run(todo, test = test)
   File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/text.py", line 1000, in run
      rc = apply(step[1](), step[2])
   File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/text.py", line 473, in __call__
      todo.x.probe (probeMonitor = 0)
   File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/xf86config.py", line 170, in
probe
      self.vidCards.append(self.cards(server[5:]))
   File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/xf86config.py", line 118, in
cards
      card = cards[thecard]
KeyError: ET4000 W32i

If I debug the xf86config.py at line 118, the command

(Pdb): p thecard         --> gives 'ET4000 W32i'
(Pdb): p card            --> gives {'END':'','':''}
(Pdb): p cards           --> gives some screens full of strings
(Pdb): p cards[thecard]  --> gives ***KeyError: <exceptions.KeyError
instance at 8be1b88>

How can I solve it ?
Why it detects an ET4000W32i instead of an ET4000W32P (does it matter ?)
Is there a way to skip the detection of the video card
and finish the installation at least in text mode ?

Thank you
