Chapter 3. Installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 13
As you boot the installation program, be aware of two issues:
•
Once you see the
boot:
prompt, the installation program will automatically begin if you take no
action within the first minute. To disable this feature, press one of the help screen function keys.
•
If you press a help screen function key, there will be a slight delay while the help screen is read
from the boot media.
Normally, you only need to press [Enter] to boot. Watch the boot messages to see if the Linux kernel
detects your hardware. If your hardware is properly detected, please continue to the next section. If it
does not properly detect your hardware, you may need to restart the installation in expert mode.
3.2.1.1. Additional Boot Options
If you do not wish to perform a CD-ROM GUI installation, you can start a text mode installation using
the following boot command:
boot: text
For text mode installation instructions, please refer to Chapter 4.
If you are having trouble booting into the graphical installation program, you can try to boot using the
no framebuffer (
nofb
) boot option.
At the boot command, enter the following:
boot: nofb
This option allows you to use the graphical installation program without using a framebuffer.
Enter expert mode using the following boot command:
boot: linux expert
If you need to perform the installation in serial mode , type the following command:
boot: linux console= device
In the above command,
device
should be the device you are using (such as ttyS0 or ttyS1). For
example,
linux console=ttyS0,115200n8
.
3.2.1.2. Kernel Options
Options can also be passed to the kernel. For example, to instruct the kernel to use all the RAM in a
system with 128 MB of RAM, enter:
boot: linux mem=128M
After entering any options, press [Enter] to boot using those options.
If you need to specify boot options to identify your hardware, please write them down. The boot
options will be needed during the boot loader configuration portion of the installation (please see
Section 3.14 for more information).
