Description PRODIGY 2003-05-01 13:51:48 UTC
When I try to install RedHat Linux on my PC, right after "Running Anaconda" 
message, I get the "Waiting for the X server to start..." message, and this 
fails three times. After that, it switches to text mode. In text mode, after I 
select my user ID and pass, I get the error bellow. Note that a few weeks ago 
the installation worked fine. I don't know what happened in the mean time. Here 
is the error I get:


Traceback (innermost last):
