RH9 Up2date failure (gs040417a)

[Gene Sears (MUMC)]

A follow-up on this...  I ran a sniffer on the LAN and re-attempted to run
up2date on the PC I tried to install RH9 on.  It failed as usual, but when I
was looking through the TCP capture file I found the following string
repeated several times at the end of a line
"1!0^_^F^I*†H†÷^M^A^I^A^V^Rrhn-noc at redhat.co]".  Notice the apparently
missing "m" to the left of the right bracket.  I wonder if that is, or is a
contributor to the problem?  Ideas?

  RH9 Up2date failure, when this occurs is there an error log written, and
where?  Since it fails at 20% (after building an update list) connectivity
isn't the issue, what are other high probability failure causes?  Since
RedHat recognizes the user id, pw and email address, I think it may be
registered, but since I have made several attempts to use up2date and ALL
have failed at 20%, I'm not certain.

  In case it is relative, X won't start and xfree86 is unable to
successfully configure the adapter or monitor.  The monitor is listed in
xfree86, but is not recognized.  The adapter "SiS 650/740" is not listed in
xfree86 even though it is favorably mentioned in the xfree86 log file.  On
exiting xfree86 it, always reports ALL monitor and adapter info. as "bogus"
from probing.

  The PC is a K7SOM mainboard based clone (1015 Hz Duron CPU, 128MB/32
shared w/video, integrated SiS 650/740 video, sound, and Ethernet).  It is
able to ping or be pinged on the LAN, and can ping hosts on the Internet.
