Redhat GUI Initiation Failure

[udaya31]

Hello everyone,

I have my hp laptop. I try to install redhat 5 enterprise linux server from GUI based.
It fails to start the installation from GUI based. It automatically starts installation through CLI based.

I think my device doesn't support the GUI for redhat.

So guys please help me.

Thanks.

Does the GUI come up if you run startx from the cli?
If yes you just need to edit /etc/inittab and change the following:

Change from: id:3:initdefault:
Change to: id:5:initdefault:

This is what tell the OS in which runlevel it should start.

If running startx doesn't start the GUI then you have not installed it and must do so before you can run in GUI mode.
