Howdy,
I am hoping this list is a good spot to handle the RHEL 6.2 problems I'm
having.

I installed RHEL 6.0, then "yum update"ed to apply all patches. This fouled
my kernel with the following:
[drm:drm edid_block_valid] *ERROR* EDID checksum is invalid, remainder is 88
(repeated 3 more times)
[drm] nouveau 0000:06:00:0 DDC responded, but no EDID for VGA-1
Kernel panic
I have a GdForce 8400GS IO Express 2.0 graphics card w/DDR3
I got the system back up by booting the original kernel.

There is no mention of RedHat on the video card website wvga.com in the
driver section. Is there a glimmer of hope that this card can work with RHEL
6.2?

Also I have found that the Adaptec 6805 RAID SAS/SATA card is tough to
install. I did find a path where installing RHEL 6.0 does work. I have found
no path to install 6.2 directly. For quite a while I have found Adaptec to
be basically native to Red Hat, but this card is hostile to install.  As far
as that goes, I got RHEL 5.5 working, but not 5.8 for installation.

Thanks all in advance,
Bill Watson
