HP DL 580 G7 Install RHEL 5.2 So slow!

[Hority]

HI ,all!

   I got the new 580 G7 last week, then I install the RHEL 5.2 as usual.

   then I find the problem:

  1.I use the screen though the VGA and LCD;

  2.The screen display so slow,when I move my mouse to select the object,I need to wait a long time.

   So I failed to install the RHEL 5.2.

   I try to install the RHEL 4.8&RHEL 5.4,they all don't have that problem.

    But my environment need RHEL 5.2 ,who can help me ? 

   My email:hority@qq.com

  Thanks for your help!!

Hi,

one post is enough.
And you shouldn't post e-mails on here.

Is it slow through iLO as well?
Maybe there's some video settings in BIOS that you can change. Is it possible to install RHEL 5.2 text-only (so you don't have to use your mouse)?

The minimum supported Red Hat versions for the DL580 G7 are RHEL 5.5 and RHEL 6.0. See the HP Red Hat Technical Exception Matrix

http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/linux/supportmatrix/rhel/exceptions/rhel-exceptions.html

RHEL 5.x versions before 5.4 do not support the Intel 7500 series processor

I had try to set the BIOS to default,the problem like before!

The iLO has the same problem.
