Hi all,
Trying to install 5.0 or 5.1 (i386 or x86_64) on a new system from
an install DVD. As soon as the installer launches anaconda, the
screen shuts off and from this point I'm unable to switch to any
other tty. This is an Intel core2duo machine on an Intel P35
chipset motherboard, Geforce 8400GS video card connected to a BenQ
20" widescreen LCD.
Any ideas what could cause this behaviour or how to debug further
(obviously I can't see any error messages as my virtual consoles
are no loner available)?
I think I'll try installing via a serial console when I get home
and see if I have more success.
Regards,

Try installing via a text console
type linux text at the boot prompt.
I forgot to mention I tried installing via both graphical and text.
Also tried a network-based text install. All presented no video output
whatsoever at the anaconda launch point.
