[rhn-users] Kernel Update Question About 2.6.9-22.0.2.EL

[Lamon, Frank III]

Michael's advice would be a good place to start in solving your X
problem. The command you need to run on a RHEL4 system would be
"system-config-display --reconfig --noui" - do this from init 3. Also,
you might want to apply the video driver patch from Dell - this has
solved some issues for me.

Good luck,
Frank

Hi Lee,

First thing you should note is that kernel updates don't have much to do
with X. It's very unlikely that it was just this that broke X for you.

If you're having trouble with X, you should run the X configurator (one
of redhat-config-xfree from memory) and use "--reconfig" so that your X
environment can be resetup from scratch.

Regards,

Michael.

Hi All,

I have a group of Dell PowerEdge 2850's I have recently received with
Red Hat ES 4.  The machines all run well after the base install, and I
can up2date everything to the ES 4 Update 2 levels.

After I try a kernel update to 2.6.9-22.0.2.EL or 2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp,
either one, after the boot up, I loose X windows capability on the
console, but I can still ssh and manage things that way.  I come from a
background of using Red Hat 6-9 in a command line only environment, and
we wanted to see what benefit we could have by also making X Windows
available under ES 4.

I can log in with ssh and revert back to the original kernel, and the
issue is still there.  My guess is that with the kernel update, some
config for X Windows either gets changed or deleted.  Has anyone else
seen an issue like this and can point me in a direction of a file or
files I can investigate?

Thank you in advance for any advice,
Lee Terrell
