I am trying to install Fedora Core 5 on our new server. I am getting the
following messages:

Probing for video card: Unable to probe
Probing for monitor type: Optiquest V95
Probing for mouse type: Generic PS/2 Mouse
No video hardware found, assuming headless

I have tried 4 different video cards but problem is still happening.

Here is the hardware.
Motherboard ASUS P5VDC-MX
Chipset P4M800MPro
Processor Pentium D 805
Memory (2) Corsair DDR2 PC4200 1GB each for a total of
2GB Network Card Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop 10/100/1000 Gigabit
PCI Adapter


Video Cards attempted:
Nvidia Geforce MX4000 AGP
Nvidia TNT2-M64AGP
Matrox Millenium 2 PCI
Onboard Video
When I try to use the AGP Slot, the onboard vide is disabled.

Any Suggestions?

Are you trying to install FC5 x86 or x86_64?
I have tried FC5 x86. I actually did get FC4 to install, but it has many
problems. It does not detect acpi, southbridge, or any pci slots. Also, the
IDE Controller is only running in PIO mode instead of Ultra DMA. The install
took over 2 hours. I have done some research on this and found that there is
a problem with both FC4 and FC5 using the Via 8251 southbridge chip. Via's
site is currently down so I cannot look there for a driver. Does anyone have
any experience getting the 8251 southbridge to work on either FC4 or 5 i386?
