Video problems after kickstart installation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have been experimenting with automatic installations via Kickstart. After a successful manual install, I took an existing file (/root/anaconda-ks.cfg) and opened it in system-config-kickstart. Once I finished (I just left most of it with the defaults), I ended up with a new kickstart file. I used it to fire off two different installs. In each case, once they were finished, all you can see on the screen is about a 1/2" tall "X" for a cursor. If you move the mouse around, the screen will appear then disappear. After  while a message pops up about it not being able to properly start the X server.

With that said, my kickstart file is shown below. I'm assuming the line that says "xconfig  --defaultdesktop=GNOME --depth=8 --resolution=640x480 --startxonboot" is teh problem. Should I just comment it out, change the depth, etc?

Any ideas would be appreciated!
