problems installing cpanel

[insomniak]

Hi All.
Im attempting to install cpanel on RH Linux (ES 4) and so far this is my 3rd install of the OS... My problem is when I run the installation my Xwin no longer works after reboot. I can ssh OK but no xwin. is cpanel responsible???

Also, I have yet to complete the installation succesfully. Each time i try it hangs.. checking the logs I get something like : md5sum mismatch (actual expected : xxxxx

Any ideas.
Thanks
Mark K

Indeed. It's also mentioned in the cPanel FAQ:

Ah.. had a feeling that would be the case. Any idea about the md5sum mismatch?

It would help if you posted the section of the log where you get those errors.

The installation typically takes between 1 and 2 hours to run and you should tail the two installation log threads in /var/logs/cpanel*
