Black Screen at reboot after installation
 
Hi all need some help.

Dual boot installed Redhat enterprise linux 5 with windows 7 on a 64b machine. On reboot after loading some files the GUI doesnot show only a black screen and nothing happens.

Appreciate any help

Did you install windows after installing redhat?

Thanks for your reply.

Did you do some research first?
Did you read the install guide ?
https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/...erprise_Linux/

with win7 pre installed there is a "recovery" partition
that rhel ( it is not free by the way ) might have installed grub on


very common and VERY well documented
-- google it --- search : "dual boot windows 7" +RHEL

HOW did you install 5 ??
also why not the current RHEL6.1

seeing as YOU MUST buy a license for it RHEL is not free
why 5 and not the current 6


dose windows still install ?
