No Video when installing Linux Graphical Mode on HS21 Blades
So todays’ battle was installing linux (this particular install was Oracle Unbreakable) onto an IBM blade, that just didn’t want to load the X installer when running the installation in graphical mode. For those reading who are saying “just install in text mode” .. yes, I get it .. but that’s not the point. I went all the way thru text mode and the install crashed anyway … so I was on a mission with the video mode thing.
I tried installing with the vga=790 tag at the linux install prompt, but .. no go. It would show certain screens, but not others. I have a feeling it has to do with Linux misdiagnosing the type of Video cards in the system.
I had to settle for the linux text install and then configuring the system post-install so that XWindows would work properly. Here’s the change I had to make:
- Log in as root and using vi (or any other editor), edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Search for the following Driver line in the Device section:
Driver “ati”
Replace “ati” with “vesa” The final section looks similar to this:
Section “Device”
Identifier “Videocard0″
Driver “vesa”
VendorName “Videocard vendor”
BoardName “ATI ES1000″
EndSection - Turn off dpms. While still editing the xorg.conf file, search for the following dpms option line:
Option “dpms”
Change the option line to:Option “dpms” “off”
Again,this was all done post-install, so this was all done in the OS. After I was done with these changes, I edited my /etc/inittab file to boot to runlevel 5 (graphical level). Running “init 6″ forced a reboot and from there, I was able to see my X install in the blade management center.
