I have a weird situation with a new installation of CentOS 5.4 x64, on a SuperMicro X7SBI server. The server has a <a href=" http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon3000/3210/X7SBi.cfm" target="_new">SuperMicro X7SBi motherboard</a>, board ATI ES1000 and Core2Quad Q9505 CPU. The kernel is When I login to the console, using a "17 CRT monitor (haven't tested others), the screen is off-center to the right. This happens as soon as the boot loaders gets to: "waiting for driver initialization" Below are asome photos to show what happens. http://blog.softdux.com//everything-todo-with-linux/centos-5-4-off-center-on-supermicro-console/attachment/29042010134 http://blog.softdux.com//everything-todo-with-linux/centos-5-4-off-center-on-supermicro-console/attachment/29042010135 http://blog.softdux.com//everything-todo-with-linux/centos-5-4-off-center-on-supermicro-console/attachment/centos_5-4_offcenter Other Linux distro's, including Fedora Core 11, FC 12, Ubuntu 9.10 and OpenFiler 2.3 works fine though. The only thing I can think of is the video driver, but I don't have X installed, so it can't be that. And I've reinstalled CentOS 3 times already thinking I did something wrong with the installation. It's not the monitor, since I have another CentOS 5.4 server, running on an Intel motherboard that looks normal with this setup. They're connected to the same monitor via a KVM switch. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
