Sounds like a monitor refresh rate issue.  It seems like RH is probing
your monitor and thinks it is using a valid setting, but is not.  I've
had that type of thing occur....that will get you going in the right
direction...working right now and not on my Linux box...

Subject: redhat 9 install problem (graphics card related)


hello,
i've installed redhat 9 on 2 systems already, but the 3rd system is
giving me 
problems.  first off, when it boots off the cd, and it gives the prompt
that 
says something like:
type linux or enter to run the graphical install.
type linux text to run the text installer.
blah blah, etc etc.

well, there is suppose to be a redhat logo that goes along with that
prompt.  
i got none.

but the real problem is when the graphical installer tries to start the 
xserver, my monitor just goes blank and turns off.  the disc is still
being 
read, the harddrive light is going off, but the monitor is blank (and
off).

i know its not the graphics card because i pulled it out and put it in
another 
computer and the redhat installer ran fine.

my friend suggested that it might be because of some bios settings on my

motherboard.  could this be possible?

btw, i have redhat 8 installed on the machine in question, and x starts
up 
fine.  its just the redhat 9 installer has problem starting up x.

thanks for the help,
-- christopher
