[Giora Bar]

Hi I have sucessfully installed RHEL5 under
HPVM 3.5 running on host HPUX v2.

I can only use the text interface.

I cannot startx, due to the msg:

[Giora Bar]

Hi,

The /sbin/lspci | grep -i vga

produce no lines.

issue the command /sbin/lspci will show

00:01.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller

I just would like to remind you that this is a linux guest running under HPVM

running HPUX v2 and v3 as guests under same host works fine.

You probably should have put this in the virtualization forum.
But since this is now about Linux, you should really ask there.

[Maaz]

I would suggest you to run

# /usr/sbin/gdm-stop
# /usr/sbin/gdm-binary

if X still failed to run, then try the following
# system-config-display

Hi Giora Bar

>the /sbin/lspci | grep -i vga

try
# kudzu

[Giora Bar]

thats what I got:

[root@hpvmln01 init.d]# gdm-stop
Can't find the PID file in the configuration file, going to try:
/var/run/gdm.pid
/var/run/gdm.pid doesn't exist, perhaps GDM isn't running
[root@hpvmln01 init.d]# gdm-binary
[root@hpvmln01 init.d]# ps -ef | grep gdm
root 10550 1 0 07:33 ? 00:00:00 gdm-binary
root 10554 1 0 07:33 ? 00:00:00 gdm-binary
root 10588 10550 0 07:33 ? 00:00:00 gdm-binary
root 10592 18254 0 07:33 ttyS0 00:00:00 grep gdm
[root@hpvmln01 init.d]# system-config-display
No video cards were found on this machine, exiting
[root@hpvmln01 init.d]# kudzu
[root@hpvmln01 init.d]#

still no working X.

>No video cards were found on this machine, exiting

obviously, /usr/sb/gdm-stop, and/or gdm-binary is useless right now, because the VGA adapter is not detected.

So I think the only command that can do is/will be
'service kudzu start' or just 'kudzu'

ok, did you install the rhel 5 in a text mode ?
did you install with linux noprobe option ?
