B.2.1. Is Your Mouse Not Detected?
This information does not apply to users of iSeries systems or users of LPAR-able pSeries systems.
If the
Mouse Not Detected
screen (refer to Figure B-1) appears, then the installation program was
not able to identify your mouse correctly.
You can choose to continue with the GUI installation or use the text mode installation, which does
not require using a mouse. If you choose to continue with the GUI installation, you must provide
the installation program with your mouse configuration information (refer to Section 2.12
Mouse
Configuration
).

Error
Message
If you receive an error message stating
No devices found to install Red Hat Enterprise
Linux

Check your hardware vendor’s website to determine if a driver diskette image is available that fixes
your problem. Second, add
dd
to the IPL parameters line in the Network Storage Description. For
more general information on driver diskettes, refer to Appendix D
Driver Media
