http://redhat.com after installing Redhat 9 you will be asked to sign-up for updates news and so on.
what are you doing setting up a server ? workstation? desktop? What services are you installing.
What is your bios configuration? Sometimes you need to alter HD and video speed and ram settings. What type of motherboard are you using? What chip set??thats a big one...
I have had times when i'v had to flash a bios in order to get a system running. I'v had to disable com ports in order to get the Os to recognize the com port that i disabled, sounds strange but i'v had to do these things.
All these plus make a big deference in what services and servers you install on your system.
The errors that are happening sound like your xwin service is starting twice.
My configuration that works is as follows:
I have a 40gb HD
My partictions are :
/boot 99mg
/ root 1000mb
/usr 2560mg
/home (auto fill) this is the only prt thats not a fixed size.(auto fill)
/var 1024
/tmp 1524
/chroot 1024
/var/lib 1549
<sawp> 1024
here is a copy of my Xfree86 config file. that works.
