RHEL 7.2 workstation on Thinkpad P50

Latest response

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has installed the workstation edition on Thinkpad P50. On my system the installer is unable to load GUI and cannot detect a wired network connection. My guess is the hybrid gpu may be causing problems. I know that the network is active and can be detected during other OS installs. I will be grateful for any suggestions/hints to install RHEL workstation. I plan to have it dual boot with Win 10.

Any pointers are highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Kind regards, Peter

try to switch to dedicated graphics in BIOS ... this has helped me.

Interestingly I got no difficulties with the ethernet-, but I can't get the WiFi card to work. (There seems to be a solution but not verified by me, yet: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2197141)
