What hardware are you using? eg : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=494114 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470202 Did this happen just after a kernel update? Kernel 2.6.18-128 versions are known to give problems on some hardware platforms, try using an older (2.6.18-92) or a newer kernel (2.6.18-144 or higher available at http://people.redhat.com/dzickus/el5/) -- Toshaan <[email protected]> - http://www.toshaan.be _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list Tosh, The kernel is 2.6.18-128.el5 This is on a Biostar motherboard I had RHEL 4 U8 installed on the hard drive; I did a fresh install of RHEL 5.3 to try to get some applications available for the RHEL 5 platform I installed using CDs 1 through 4; the install screen did not all show up on my monitor (the right side of the screen was not showing up) and I did not install all the packages I wanted to install I do not know how to change just the kernel; please give instructions Thanks Brenda _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
