Obviously, it's having trouble identifying the card. Edit /etc/inittab so that you start up in runlevel 3 instead of 5. Besides, it's a server, why does it need to be running X?

Because when you're doing a typical server install, the installation process uses X (unless you've customized the install to default to text mode, in which case you already know that and are just trolling).

Neither. I'll ignore the fact that I, and the folks I work with, *always* use linux text (though pxeboot is starting up), and point out that once you've run the installation, you usually have more stuff to do: update everything from install source to current, dhcp, mail, etc.

Problem with linux text is that it's not as capable as the graphical installer anymore, as Nico commented. It's definitely taken on the role of a fall back option rather than a genuine alternative to the normal X based installer.

Install in text mode: type "linux text" at the installation init screen. It's not as flexible, but it avoids this failed detection of your graphics chipset or video card.

Or use the 'vnc' option to make it available over vnc instead then connect from any vnc capable device to do the installation.

Dear All,
Thanks for all the help.
By the way I did install centos 5.5 in text mode and everything went fine .cthe server to the network and then found that i was not able to ping the gateway
when i do a network restart i see that eth0 comes up normally
also when i do a modprobe eth0 im returened back to prompt with no errors
the switch port shows the link up
ifconfig shows the interface is up and running
how could I know that the driver is installed correctly .. or any way i could know that my interface is up and working correctly
thanks and regards
if you need more details i would highly apprecite if you could ask please
regards
simon
