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

 



Just entered this in bugzilla:

Description of problem: 

Did standard 32 bit FC2 install on a dual opteron 246 system based
on 
the Arima HDAMA-SATA (ATO2161) motherboard with 2GB of Memory (4 x

512M DIMMs) with a 40GB IDE boot disk and 2 x 250 GB SATA disks
set 
up as /home and /home1. Standard install runs fine using the
onboard 
ATI RageXL with 8MB Memory graphics port. Once installed and set
to 
come up in run level 5 EVERYTHING WORKS.

First: Used yum to update from local mirror of FC2 update
directory 
and then reboot. System does not run X and we get a blue screen
with 
the updates installed that says it can't start the Xserver and
that 
it can't attach to the 0:0 frame buffer.

Did a complete reinstall and again the stock release works fine.
Only 
installed/upgraded the kernel using "rpm -ivh kernel-smp-2.6.7-
1.494.2.2.i686.rpm" -- Same problem with X occurs. 

System booting into run level 3 with no problems but startx causes
a blank screen.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-smp-2.6.7-1.494.2.2.i686.rpm


How reproducible:

Every time

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Standard 32 bit smp FC2 install
2. run rpm -ivh kernel-smp-2.6.7-1.494.2.2.i686.rpm
3. reboot and select new kernel
4. System can't connect to onboard ATI RageXL graphics port and X
fails to run.


Expected results: Expected the updates to install and run fine


Additional info: Can test this again once the ATI driver or X is 
fixed as we will have a similar machine here for another 7 days.

xlog shows a standard startup of X and no errors.

Any suggestions on a fix would be helpful......
