Re: Graphics Test Week (ATI, NVIDIA and Intel graphics Test Days)
2009/9/8 Adam Williamson awill...@redhat.com: The testing's very easy to do and it shouldn't take more than an hour of your time to boot the live CD and run the tests. There's no need to install anything to hard disk. I tried to boot from the testday-20090908-x86_64.iso from CD on an MacBook Pro 2,1, but I won't boot because of No root device found. Boot has failed, sleeping forever. messages. If try to change the label as suggested to root=live:LABEL=F12-x86_64 or to LABEL=LIVE. But it neither works for me. Again, this is _not_ a boot attempt from a USB stick, it's from the live CD. Anyone else see this or has some suggestions to workaround? Thanks! PS: The USB stick is also not working, but this seams related to EFI and/or rEFIt. -- Regards, Niels -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

Tomorrow - 2009-09-09 - is ATI/AMD Radeon graphics card Test Day (1). I would love to help test, but I'm unable to get X to start with current kernels in rawhide. The specifics of the bug are: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=513528 It's possible that the start of the bug and the end of the bug are unrelated, but... I can run X using an older kernel: 2.6.31-0.125.4.2.rc5.git2.fc12.x86_64 However, current kernels will boot at runlevel 3, however X fails to start and running startx from level 3 sees it fail. There are dmesg and Xorg.0.logs in this bug, so it might be nice if someone who has something to do with X could take a look and see if this needs to be moved to X (from the kernel). Then I could run the tests as requested. Rodd -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
Re: Graphics Test Week (ATI, NVIDIA and Intel graphics Test Days)
Tomorrow - 2009-09-09 - is ATI/AMD Radeon graphics card Test Day (1). I have been trying to follow the procedure to get the liveusb key to boot - but changing the kernel line to either of root=live:LABEL=F12-Snap1-i686-Live to: root=live:LABEL=F12-i686 or to LABEL=LIVE won't work for me! I have seen both the bz reports at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=520207 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=521471 The boot gets to the stage where the white/blue line goes across the page but the screen then shows No root device found. Boot has failed, sleeping forever - the advertised method for fixing this fails for me - is there any other suggested work-around?

Then use that for the label on the boot line. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

That works - excellent - I think I will add this to the reference page - others will doubtless be bitten by this also. Now I hope I can test later this evening -- mike -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
