| I already have RH8 installed with no hickups but now I'm trying to upgrade
to RH9.0 and after booting up from CD and is about to show some gui the monitor
switches off like its lost a signal (monitor still works fine in RH8 & Windows).
This is what I get...
Attempting to start X server
waiting for X server to start ...
1...2...3...4...X server started successfully.
.....then monitor loses signal
Help appreciated.
TIA

Install in text mode instead of the GUI mode. When the Installation boot
screen is displayed type; linux text
Additional options can be found here;

With RH7.3 my system unit would not power down on shutdown. After I
installed RH9 I would. Then lately it does not again. I dunno why, but
it seems something is flakey with RH9 and ACPI.
Just a wild guess: Try disabling the ACPI stuff in the bios, and maybe
rh9 will not then tell the motherboard to start annoying the monitor!
