Hello,
I've installed Centos 4.2 X86_64 on a PE2800 box with a Radeon 700 card and a generic Dell monitor.
After running up2date before putting this box in production and make a reboot I can't get into X anymore, my monitor shows a message "out of sync" and that's it.
So I tried logging in via ssh to run 'setup' and to use the X setup program, but it doesn't want to start.
So I changed /etc/inittab to 3 insead of 5 and rebooted again. Now running setup from the box itself still doesn't seem to work quite well. I only get the message probing and that's about it.
The videcard or monitor are still working flawlessy because using a live CD with X isn't a problem.
Any ideas what went wrong? Because I'm thinking of reinstalling but don't want to run into this same problem again..
kind regards,
Geert
