hello, I installed RedHat Linux 9 on my new machine just now.. Installation was sucessful but it hangs at the time of booting..
it hangs when it starts checking for Module Dependecies nothing works no control + c nothing...
i tried installing it 4 times but same problem.
My pc config is
AMD Athalon 2400+ 512 DDR RAM 40 GB Seagate Baracuda (2 HDDs) Asus mobo 2 - 10/100 LAN cards 52x External CD Writer
partition info.
/dev/hda1 /boot 100 ext3 /dev/hda2 / 20480 ext3 /dev/hda3 /progs around 20000 ext3
/dev/hdb1 /homes 10240 ext3 /dev/hdb2 /backup1 around 30000 ext3
not created any swap coz ram is 512 DDR (tried with swap partition also but same problem)
i have installed the same copy of os to other pcs also works just fine.
any ideas ? dont tell me i will have to play with kernal.. :(
pls help me out guys Deep
It has to be Nvidia integrated chipset. thought RH9.0 does support the nforce chipset.
Download nvidia rpm from ftp://sachinnair.com, i used it on my system almost similar configuration so it should be good enough. run it after getting into runlevel 3 as someone said earlier.
You could also try reducing the resolution in /etc/X11/XF86Config and changin the 'nv' to 'nvidia' as shown below.
Boot form the bootable CD using 'linux rescue' command. Then edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config, look for something like this. ---------------------- Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "nv" ##change 'nv' here to 'nvidia'
VendorName "Videocard vendor" BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX (generic)" VideoRam 32768 EndSection
Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" #reduce resolution to any one 640x800 preferred EndSubSection EndSection
Section "DRI" Group 0 Mode 0666 EndSection ---------------------------------------------------- , or as a last bid reinstall choose text mode, then download the nvidia rpm, run it and reboot. then typer startx after logging in again! hope this helps
