Install RHEL5 on BL460c no gui?
Hi,
I'm new to blades and installing linux on blades.
A few weeks ago we installed RHEL 4 on a BL460c and everything looked good. When I started the Integrated Remote Console in iLO I would get the standard blue linux graphical login screen and then be able to log in.
We recently got rid of that and tried RHEL 5 and graphically things don't look good. We don't get the login screen, but rather a black flashing screen. It looks like X is trying to start, but doesn't succeed. When it finally fails and I've tried running startx it starts up twm instead of gnome.
Any idea of why this is or how I can fix it?
Thanks,
Chris.

Shalom Chris,
Both releases have install text options and will install without a gui.

Re: Install RHEL5 on BL460c no gui?
Gday Chris,
On RHEL5 re-run system-config-display set the hardware device type to generic CRT probably 800x600 or 1024x768 depending on any KVMs etc.
The system may have autoconfigured the incorrect device type - it happens with us on kickstart builds.
With RHEL4 we had a similar problem with fonts - turned out xfs service wasnt started.
Other usuals are networking, DNS name and host name not matching can do it or no network at all.
