Dear Sir,
I have Purchased a new Laptop config. is :

>> *Laptop Configuation: - *
>> Samsung RV518 A01IN
>> Core I3 Processor 2310M (2.10 Ghz 3 MB)
>> main chipset HM65
>> RAM- 3 GB

I am not able to install RHEL 6.0 in this model Laptop goes to hang and did't respond whether we remove the battery then it goes off.

Kindly suggest compatible operating System, for installation purpose.

thanks

Hi,

Are you talking about the very old Redhat Linux 6.0 (1999) or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6?

The old version probably doesn't support your hardware and besides that it is way to old and is not supported any more.

If you are talking about RH EL 6: Contact Red Hat support, they might be able to help you.

On the other hand: Why not try CentOS or Fedora. Both are free of charge, have a huge user base and support most (if not all) hardware around.

Hope this helps.

I guess you missed this line and one other which specifies what he is using.

Rahul as a matter of personal safety I'd be removing my mobile number from your post if I were you.

Hi,

Have a look here: Welcome to LinLap - The Linux Laptop Wiki - Samsung RV518

Quote from the Notes section:

Quote:

Because of the uefi interface, some tweaking is necessary in order to get it to boot, it won't boot with a typical linux installation.

Red Hat support might be able to help you with that issue.

Hope this helps.

Yep, I'd contact red hat.
