One of the mods requested some data, here ya go..think it is a video
issue...
I think I am narrowing it down to choking on my ATI ES1000
controller..which might be causing some issues.
When I did a full desktop, everything worked okay though, but command
line only or with x windows system video is a complete no go.
although I can pull up text things like system-config-network, x will
choke on config/hal: couldn't initialize context: (null) and pop right
out. Display cannot open.
Its make sense because now and then my ipmi card just gets a blurry
video image and I have to reset the card.
Also, it just shuts off (loses connection/video) sometimes and I must
login again. Thought it was the card...but...
it only happens when I am installing linux or it is installed. If
playing in bios it has never happened.
Tried the nomodeset thing, no change.
