Issues With my new LCD monitor
I got a new Viewsonic 17'' LCD monitor, and it is creating issues for me to login into Linux(Redhat Linux 7.3). I have a dual boot(GRUB 0.91) and when I select Linux, it goes through the regular stuff and "finally" I get a message "Out Of Range" H:53.7 Khz V 85.1Khz.
After browsing through the forum, I realized that I need to run my Xconfigurator. The problem is I am not able to get into Linux system(i.e. Command Prompt). I tried "e" and Control e when I get the GRUB, but nothing happens. Please do help me in getting into the command prompt . Thanks in advance |
Do you have a boot disk? That should be able to get you in to RH...
|
Boot Disk
Can you please walk through me the process? Please excuse my ignorance.

Could not find kernel image:root
As I tried booting from my boot disk, I get boot: and I typed in root and I got a message "Could not find kernel image:root"
I am "totally" clueless, please do help me get to the command prompt after that I know what to do. |
type linux root=/dev/hdaxx ro (where xx is the partition of your root drive)
Then you should get a root prompt. My syntax might be a little wrong, but come back if you have furhter questions. |
Same error
I tried it. But same problem. I am going "nuts" over this. Please do take me "home"
|
I got it (I think):
This is the biggest anticlimax of all time... at the boot prompt type.... nothing. Hit enter. RH should boot the default kernel. I hope this helps! |
I tried it but it did not help. OK now I give up, how do I clear up the hard drive and start a fresh install of Redhat.
|
just for kicks, try vmlinuz root=/dev/hdaxx (again, xx the partition of your root)
|
The system says loading vmlinuz and it goes into the setup and later I get the same #%*#### message out of range.
|
so you never get to a bash prompt?
|
You need to get into single user mode so you can then alter the X Windows configuration for your monitor. At the bit where grub is sitting there saying 'boot:' type in the name of the kernel (vmlinuz) and after that type 'single'
It should look something like this: Code:
vmlinuz root=/dev/hdaxx (again, xx the partition of your root) single Hope that is what you are needing (andthat it works) Alex |
