I'm installing a server (IBM xSeries) remotely using an KVM over IP.
The system is a Fedora 8 x86_64 for use Xen virtualization.
I was not able to install the host with graphical display, the KVM says "no signal" when anaconda starts. I changed the install to text mode and things gone fine. I rebooted the server, but can't get graphical display to work.
To install the guest I would like to have the graphical interface working to be able to deal with LVM during the install partitioning for each guest's.
Any idea?
I have a colleague that had this problem with the graphical console on IBM blade server.
Maybe the system doesn't have a graphics card. Or if it has can you install it first without the KVM? After the instalation is complete you can try to use the KVM.
Can you tell me the hardware specifics? From what I understand it's about that RedHat doesn't recognize the graphical card and that's why you cannot get graphical install.
The problem is the ati radeon driver. I used the text mode to install the host (with kickstart), then changed the driver from radeon to vesa in xorg.conf to install the guests.

Thanks!

You should really only bother with text mode when using kickstart unless you want to manually interact with the install. I try my best to automate the whole install when dealing with kickstart, kickstart, walk away, come back to login prompt.
