https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1037Stick CD1 back in, and in console:
Product: Installation
Component: Installation
Summary: beta2 fails to get xwindows working
Version: 1.771
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: blocker
Priority: P2

I've tried to install 9.1b2 twice tonight on my ibm x21 laptop. Everything goes
fine, except that xwindows won't start after install completes. After the
install, it boots only to console (even when I tell it to default to gnome).
When I say startx, it complains that things are not properly setup. Setup never
queries me about the display.
When I su and try to run drakconf to configure the display, it asks for cd1
again, but when I put it in, it doesn't recognize it.
When I try running xf86config to set things up, it goes through everything ok,
but when I run startx, it gives an execsv error about x.

su - root

urpmi.update cdrom1
then when it finishes go do what you did before with XFdrake if needed. CD1 will now be figured out.
My understanding, this will be fixed in the Beta3 release. That will be the next set of frozen ISOs.
