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 ?
