[sipx-users] sipxecs-4.6.0: Framebuffer (or something) broken on first boot

2012-10-11 Thread Adrien Guillon
Hi, I'm not sure if this is a known bug. I've installed SipX twice now, and upon booting the screen is completely garbled. I suspect a framebuffer or something is being used for boot, but it doesn't like my hardware. Anyone else experience this? AJ

Realize you have not stated what version of sip and how you are installing it. Is it sipx 4.4 or 4.6? Are you installing via RPM or from ISO? Typically it means your hardware has an issue with linux. If you know what hardware you are using (we don't) and what version of sipx you are installing

It's an ISO install, 4.6. Yes, it could be an issue with my hardware and CentOS, however the issue is that not all hardware is going to support framebuffers properly. Regardless of whether the bug is in CentOS or the install scripts of the sipxecs ISO, it is still an issue that there is no option

Well, you could use the RPM installation method and go that route... Then you'd have full control over the installation. Thanks, Mike On Thu, Oct 11, 2012 at 11:56 AM, Adrien Guillon aj.guil...@gmail.comwrote: It's an ISO install, 4.6. Yes, it could be an issue with my hardware and

It's a centos issue. It's probably a resolution issue. it's still centos and your hardware let me google that FOR you... http://lmgtfy.com/?q=framebuffers+centos+6 the answer lies in probably changing grub.conf to match what the hardware might support... example: kernel

I'll download a minimal CentOS install now to try to help narrow down the problem to CentOS or SipX. Thanks for pointing out the potential install parameters, if X runs during the install (which it did) I would assume that the framebuffer would be alright. Tony: I am well aware of how to change

Okay, so I tried to CentOS 6.3 minimal install. The issue remains with a normal install, however CentOS also has a low-end video mode, and that install works just fine. It might be worth considering, if simple enough, to add an option to SipX to install CentOS in a low video mode. For now I can
