Screen blacked out
by techlists＠comcast.net 08 Mar '07

08 Mar '07

I have a CentOS 4.3 workstation I use for experimentation on my desk at work. It was plugged into an old LG 14" monitor, and I switched the video cable to a Samsung 17" LCD without rebooting. The screen resolution was set to 800x600 on the 14" monitor, and the display worked fine at 800x600 after switching to the Samsung 17". When I changed the resolution to 1024x764, the screen went black and I haven't been able to get it back again. I hoped rebooting and having the system search for new hardware would adjust the display driver to the correct monitor but it didn't. I booted with CD1 in rescue mode and changed /etc/inittab to start in command line mode (3), but the screen still goes black after going through some initial boot processes. I suspect the issue is driver related, rather than screen resolution related. When I initially went to change the resolution, it recognized the monitor as a generic VGA, and I changed the monitor type to Samsung Syncmaster 711T at the same time as changing the resolution. How can I get the system to recognize the new monitor? Paul G.

Help with Dell PE2950 and RAID5 setup
by Scott Ehrlich 07 Mar '07

07 Mar '07

I've got a new PE2950 rack system with PERC controller and 6 drives set up contiguously as one RAID5 volume on the PERC controller. Using 64-bit CentOS 4.4, I partitioned for /boot having 100 Meg, swap having 2 gig, and / with the rest (removed LVM). After the install was complete, the system rebooted and just gave me a broken grub prompt (not the graphical Grub boot selector, but grub>). I fed it root (hd0,0) and setup (hd0) and rebooted. I then got the grub gui, but also got the following after the attempted kernel boot: Decompressing Linux...done. Booting the kernel. Red Hat nash version 4.2.1.8 starting sda: asking for cache data failed sda: assuming drive cache: write through sda: asking for cache data failed sda: assumint drive cache: write through EXT3-fs error (device sda3): ext3_get_inode_loc: unable to read inode block - inode=2132343, block=1231234 mount: error 5 mounting none EXT3-fs error (device sda3): ext3_get_inode_loc: unable to read inode block - inode=123123, block=124324123 EXT3-fs error (device sda3): ext3_get_inode_loc: unable to read inode block - inode=6353565, block=34634635 WARNING: can't access (null) exec of init ((null)) failed!!!: 14 EXT3-fs error (device sda3): ext3_get_inode_loc: unable to read inode block - inode=1245546546, block=645243235 umount /initrd/dev failed: 5 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! What might be wrong? Bad hard drive? This, again, is a fresh install, straight off the 64-bit CentOS 4.4 4 CD set. Thanks. Scott

Yes, as mentioned below, I edited /etc/inittab from rescue mode, and changed it to run level 3.

I don't think it's the xconfigs, I think it's the driver for the monitor. There's nothing wrong with the monitor; the boot messages display on the screen until a certain point, and then the screen blacks out. How can I get the system to look at a different driver? Paul
