Post subject:  LinHES R8.6.1 install failed

Hi,

Thought I would try out new install on another computer a Dell 9020 SFF. I'm installing from a DVD ROM, it gets up to "Starting linhes-install" and stops. (see pic)
Never had an issue like this before. I typed in journalctl -xe and it did come up with "failed to start linhes installer at display"
I have also tried force VESA install and R8.5.1 and it does the same.
Thanks for any help.

X isn't starting. Can you see anything of interest in /var/log/Xorg.log?

Looks like it does not load drivers for the video card. AMD Radeon HD 8490.
I could not work out how to copy the file to a USB drive,I tried many command lines, so there are photos here:

Maybe I should try another video card or can the drivers be loaded?

It is failing even with vesa which is really surprising. The concerning part is the PCI ROM data error but things look to load after that so maybe it isn't an issue. Without forcing vesa do you get similar output?

For the log photos that was with a default install selected in the first menu.
I have managed find in my collection of bits a low profile Nvidia Geforce 8400 GS.
I have just run a default install and it has made it to the welcome screen. I will continue and let you know
how it goes. Not sure why it did not like the AMD card.

The install has gone fine with the other video card, I have the system up and running as a backend and is working great so far.
Thanks for the help,
