14.2. Trouble Beginning the Installation
14.2.1. Problems with Booting into the Graphical Installation
There are some video cards that have trouble booting into the graphical installation program. If the
installation program does not run using its default settings, it tries to run in a lower resolution mode. If
that still fails, the installation program attempts to run in text mode.
One possible solution is to try using the
resolution=
boot option. Refer to
Chapter 15, Additional
Boot Options for IBM Power Systems
for more information.
Note
To disable frame buffer support and allow the installation program to run in text mode, try
using the
nofb
boot option. This command may be necessary for accessibility with some
screen reading hardware.
14.3. Trouble During the Installation
14.3.1.
No devices found to install Red Hat Enterprise
Linux
Error Message
If you receive an error message stating
No devices found to install Red Hat Enterprise
Linux
, there is probably a SCSI controller that is not being recognized by the installation program.
Check your hardware vendor's website to determine if a driver diskette image is available that fixes
your problem. For more general information on driver diskettes, refer to
Chapter 13, Updating drivers
during installation on IBM POWER systems
.
You can also refer to the
Red Hat Hardware Compatibility List
, available online at:

14.3.2. Saving Traceback Messages Without a Diskette Drive
If you receive a traceback error message during installation, you can usually save it to a diskette.
If you do not have a diskette drive available in your system, you can
scp
the error message to a
remote system.
This information does not apply to users of headless IBM System p systems.
When the traceback dialog appears, the traceback error message is automatically written to a file
named
/tmp/anacdump.txt
. Once the dialog appears, switch over to a new tty (virtual console) by
pressing the keys
Ctrl+Alt+F2
and
scp
the message written to
/tmp/anacdump.txt
to a known
working remote system.
