FC5 Installation Predicament
Well I had alot of trouble with GUIs etc. in the previous thread most of which I've fixed. However One big problem has now occured.
To successfully boot into the GUI I had to use the command:
This would allow me to get past the black screen with the X cursor and into the GUI installer.
However,
I run a RAID 0 array, which requires the dmraid to be set, in order for Anaconda to find it.
Code:
linux dmraid -v -ay
Setting this successfully enables the installer to see my RAID Array, however as you might have guessed it means that I cannot boot into the GUI!!!
Note: Text mode gives the same result unless dmraid is disabled, so I can't use that either!
Note: I have also tried the 'linux vesa' command, but it does not seem to work as when the GUI is meant to appear, the monitor shows a 'No Signal' message.
I feel that having Fedora successfully run on my PC will become a dead and buried issue. Fedora has been the only distro I'm really interested in, unfortunately *trying* to make the move to linux has not been a happy (nor successful) one. Guess its back to windows then, unless of course someone knows yet another work around.
Thanks to JEO and anyone else who tried to help.
Cheers,
