    Welcome to the forums!

    You might need to try experimenting with different resolutions at boot to see if you can get past the error. The resolution option and other boot options that are available to you can be found here:

    hey
    but i didnt really know where to enter the command..
    means the installation first ask for the selecting the installation mode between graphical mode and non graphical mode
    then by selecting the graphical mode it goes into the checking the media and then
    at the time of invoking the graphics card at the installation it fails and gives error.

    I don't have a copy of RHEL so can't test it, but you usually enter any boot options at the command prompt when the disk first begins to spin up, but before the disk fully spins up to actually begin the installation routine.

    Maybe someone that has RHEL on hand will reply with more details.
