Error after running yum update - black screen
Can you guys advise on how to resolve this? We have a machine (RHEL 6 32bit 2.6.32-504.8.1.el6.i686) that boots to a black screen. I can SSH into it from my machine, but when you're physically at the machine it just displays a black screen.
I have tried booting from the previous 2 kernels, but still get the black screen. I am assuming something got hosed with the video stuff? Its an ATI Radeon 4000series card. Should I install the ATI driver from their website and try? We have never had to do that with these machines though. Also, when running a yum update, we receive this error. I'm not sure how to resolve this and if resolving this will fix the video issues. Code:
# yum update Heres after running yum update --skip-broken: Code:
# yum update --skip-broken |
get busy with rpm and the man page. You can use levers and hammers to get yourself out of something like that. I think you will have to download everything skipped, and find their requirements. Then install the requirements. Major PITA.

I'd start by running yum update on just libgudev1; it appears that the remaining dependencies would be satisfied if you can get beyond that one

I tried to update just this one package and it says: Code:
sudo yum update libgudev1-147-2.46.el6.i686 |
You think this bug report might help?
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=888085 Sorry not sure if that was relevant because of the difference in name. |
After looking at your errors that link may be quite relevant.

Thanks but I'm not sure what I should do after reading thru those comments :confused:
|
Back to the black screen problem - have you tried booting using the nomodeset kernel parameter?
|
@RockDoctor: Good suggestion, but I recently had no kernel modesetting on one oldish laptop running a recent kernel and X wouldn't boot that way. I had been doing a 'git bisect' and somehow lost my own video driver in the remakes.

You probably need to create a link here
