Hi all,
I kept having problems installing my new RH 8 software. It seems that every
time I would get to the part where X starts, the installation would BOMB
OUT! Sometimes the process would get as far as the first screen which
allows you to choose your language but then it would bomb out there. I
tried all the settings (i.e. to stop it from polling video, etc.) but to no
avail. I tried starting in text mode and "no go" there either. I checked
the info that came with my motherboard and found that when you use the
integrated (on-board) video, the computer allocates up to 32 megabytes of
ram to video. I ran a hardware test on my computer and I found the
problem....I had some bad memory in my machine! I replaced the defective
memory and the install progressed happily to its conclusion. Hopefully this
may help others who are attempting installs and are just not getting
anywhere. Check your hardware (especially memory, if you are using on-board
video and it uses some of your computer's memory for video ram.)
Good Luck,
