RH9 Installation problem on Laptop
I am trying to install RH9 on my Laptop (an Airis 1.1Ghz PIII with SiS chipset). After booting up with the CD whatever option I choose (text, GUI) it always ends up displaying a rather pretty - but useless - display consisting of multicoloured pixels randomly all over the screen, eventually the display ends up all white, but no information can be seen. I have used the Linux Lowres, Linux resolution 800x600, vga=ask and vga=2 but nothing seems to work.
Any ideas, Thanks, Lug:confused: |
howbout... linux=text or install=text? There should be a text mode install. After that good luck with getting the display to work? Or switch to Mandrake or Suse for better laptop support.

Thx for your replies,
I had tried the text option (I forgot to mention it) but the same thing happens! IŽll try Mandrake instead - pity about the three wasted blanks. :mad: Thanks again, Lug |
Did it work?

Tried Mabdrake 9.1 (came on magazine DVD) and it worked with no problems! Even managed to connect to the internet via a wireless network using Proxy+ on the Windows XP server within minutes, even recognised the shared printer on the server - excellent!
Thanks for the advice, Lug :D |
try enabling vga mode in your bios at the startup of the computer. it maybe an option. good luck
