The installation went well except for one problem.
The bootup process would not complete and the screen would go blank.
I found the following web page to be tremendously useful in solving my problem: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/redhat-fedora-linux-help/95675-centos-5-0-rhel5-fedora-7-installation-problems-tips-tricks.html
The Operating System does not work correctly with the monitor.
The solution is simple.
- Boot the system in run-level 3.
- Turn on the computer.
- Wait for the grub loader to start. Press a key to interrupt the boot cycle.
- Edit the boot parameters. Add the number 3 at the end.
- This will cause the system to boot in run-level 3. Run level 3 does not use graphics and so the operating system not working well with monitor problem is not fatal.
- Log in as root.
- Run system-config-display
The Linux Forums page suggests that you may need to do more.
Perhaps I was just lucky.
