RHEL 3.0AS Crashes During Install...
I am having a problem trying to install RHEL 3.0AS onto a generic 32bit AMD Athlon machine. I boot up from the first install CD, and it gets to the point where it runs anaconda. The xserver starts and I get a white background with a mouse pointer, which I can move around for a few seconds, then it just hangs at that point.
I mean, it totally spanners the machine, can't do jack apart from turn it off or hit the reset switch on the front.
The machine spec is as follows...
1024MB DDR RAM
Athlon 2800XP
ATI Radeon 9600 AGP Graphics
Single 80gig IDE HDD
The strange thing is that exactly the same sort of thing happens when I try to install RHEL 2.1. However, if I install either using the 'linux text' option, the installation runs right the way through and it doesn't crash until it first starts to boot up.
It runs firstboot and a couple of seconds after starting the xserver and the graphical config wizard thingy, the system hangs again.
The really bizarre thing is that I have had Redhat 9.0 and Mandrake 10.0 both running on this system without a hitch.
Any ideas?
Many Thanks - Lee

Re: RHEL 3.0AS Crashes During Install...
Another case similar was with an Nvidia card. I once again loaded the OS in text mode, and then just followed Nvdia's instructions for loading the video driver. The I did an " init 5" and I was in graphics mode.
What I'm saying is - just get the OS running in text mode, then fix the graphics problem later.

I would try a text mode install and then see if all my hardware is supported. If not, replace what is not supported.

I think you can try to install in text mode,maybe that can be an issue. This is one way to eliminate the problem.

Re: RHEL 3.0AS Crashes During Install...
When managing to complete the installation in text mode, I am getting to this 'firstboot' point and this is where it is then hanging.
I think I will try it again, only this time specifying an inital text mode login instead of graphical mode.
