rh8 does not install in grap. mode

cpraveen · 09-21-03, 12:28 AM

i was trying to install rh8 on my system which has the follwing config:
AMD Athlon XP 2000+ processor
ASUS A7N266 VM motherboard with NVIDIA GEForce2 MX(Generic) card on it
256 MB DDR SD RAM
LG Studioworks 563N monitor

The prob is that the installation does not proceed in graphics mode.

I then tried SUSE 8.2 , and it got installed properly.
I would like to know what is the problem with rh8.

i would like to have suggestions on how to make the installation in graphical mode possible.

Check /var/log/nvidia-installer.log for the exact error message; note that the NVIDIA installer will abort the installation if the X server is running and already configured to use (an earlier) version of the NVIDIA driver (i.e. if a NVIDIA kernel module is loaded and in use).
