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?


Sorry for the slow reply <G>

This is a kernel issue that several of us have been looking into. From
what dialogue we've had, apparently two slots on the motherboard is
disabled as the kernel doesn't know how the handle the motherboard. We
see the problem occurs with sound not working, but did not see until now
video problems. I am using AGP video, but have been having video
instability that is probably the same as you are getting though at least
I get video.

Within the next several hours when I get the chance, I will make a post
on both the RH Kernel and Linux Kernel lists to get a resolution started
with this.

BTW, we are all using the same motherboard as you are...

Thank you for the reply. I have gotten a text mode install and got the
onboard network card to work. I still cannot get any video card to work on
the server as well as the SATA hard drives or any PCI card.

I will probably put this motherboard in a windows desktop. Does anyone know
of a motherboard that sells for $50-$100 that is Socket 775 and works
properly with Fedora Core 5. I need the pci slots to work as well as both
ide and serial ATA.

Gigabyte, Asus, A-Bit, MSI, or Intel would be preferred. We have had problems
with ECS, PC-Chips, Chaintek, Mercury, and Syntax in the past and I would
prefer to stay away from them.

Thank you
