Rhel4 Beta

awtoc123 · 02-03-2005, 01:53 AM

Has any body tried to install the RHEL4 BETA2 WS yet ?

I just installed it, and found it almost ( 99% ) identicial to Fedora Core3, but there is a problem, when I try to log out from a user secion the machine just frezees on a black screen, and nothing happens, you need to switch the machine of and on again. If I log out from root I get the log in screen, but then if I try to log in again as either root or a user, the machine crashes again.

Anybody with simler problems ?

I had exactly the same problem on a ThinkPad R51; but I needed a working machine, so I switched back to FC3 again.

There's a thread at redhat.com nahant-beta list showing a workaround, but no solution yet:

Hello,
one update, issue is related to GLX, commenting out Load "glx" and all works, just no 3d acceleration (pity).

Just another reason to keep in mind that this is BETA software and not the production release. Expect to see some buggy behavior.

Hi lmp Many thanks for your reply I did exactly what you suggested, and it works now perfect, as I dont use anything with 3D I have no problems, many thanks for your help..

But be sure to report any problems at http://bugzilla.redhat.com no matter how late in the beta cycle it is.
