RedHat boots up to a red screen
Hi I have a dl380 g7 and running RedHat 5.6 (64)
My issue is, it boots up to a red screen I dont see the login or any text. I tried changing resolution (vga=771 etc) but no change. even when I do ctl+alt+F1 I am getting a blank screen! But via network I am able to connect to the system any one can tell me what is going on |
is it a virtual machine or physical?
Is it a fresh installation or have you done any system changes which you remember? Try restarting your system as it might have hanged |
Hi because of this reason I have reinstalled this but with the same result. and I have not done any change to the system other than adding vga=771 etc to test this issue, thinking this was something to do with resolution. this is a physical server no virtualization is involved
thanks for the reply deap27ak |
what is the configuration of this machine?
You mean while booting you are able to see the screen but after that you don't see the login screen is it? |
the machine is DL 380 (G7), 24GB ram, 2 x 12 core intel, 2x300GB SAS, HP TFT7600 G2 KVM Console
but I did hook up a extenal monitor with same result. Yes I can install with out any issue, I was able to see the login screen for a while but now end up with this problem |
As you said you are able to login through network so go to the CLI and change the default login runlevel to 3 and reboot the system and type startx
|
Ah that I did not checked, let me get back to you on this, thanks
|
Hi, nothing comes up even on runlevel 3, but still the rest of the services comes up
|
can you post the output of
Code:
#cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |

Hi deep27ak, sorry for the delay, attached are the documents that you requested
Thanks and best regards |
The problem you are facing seems to be a bug as I found something here
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=243022 so you can try to update your driver and see if it works Code:
#yum update glibc http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...distro-922178/ I am not sure if this resembles your problem append this line in your xorg.conf file (make sure to take a backup of original file) Code:
#vi xorg.conf http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t...2-start-0.html |
Hi This did not work by adding the modes! have to check this bug out now!
|
Hi deep26ak, sorry for the long silence, was away for awhile.
After upgrading the mentioned packages I am able to start the x server using "startx" command but not at the boot time! it still goes to a read screen and stops! Thanks and Regards |
procfs,
I hope you are using the licensed RHEL and paying them for that. Right? So why don't you take their support? They can provide you some better solution. You have been struggling for this problem for so long time, I would suggest you to take the RHEL Support: https://www.redhat.com/wapps/sso/log...port/cases/new you just need to login from here and can create a new case. |
