Maybe init 3 and change the driver in xorg.conf and see if it helps. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

I have backed down to 2.6.27 in the meantime, though I am curious as to why this particular 2.6.29 kernel won't work on this machine which has run 2.6.29 kernels (other distribution) previously. I'll look into it the next few days and see what the differences between the two kernels are and perhaps can solve my problem.

After installing the same kernel from updates-testing along with all the other 'testing updates, I have run into a similar issue. First, I noticed that unlike with 2.6.27, KMS is now enabled on my hardware. However, booting seemed to get stuck in the same place as on your machine. After getting stuck, only the ACPI event from the power button seemed to do anything meaningful (The system shut down cleanly, though without any output to the screen). After adding the nomodeset word to the kernel boot parameters, the system acts as it used to. No KMS, no getting stuck at the end of boot. Try doing the same if you suspect it has anything to do with KMS.

Try doing the same if you suspect it has anything to do with KMS. Thanks for your suggestion Joonas :) I did try that. The machine booted up to the point where the login screen would have come up and then froze solid. That being said, I tried for day to install the new beta on this machine with no success. When I was finally able get 11 beta installed and rebooted, I got the exact same behaviour from that kernel as I am experiencing now. So obviously, something isn't right someplace. I'll poke around the next couple of days and try to determine what the problem is. Thanks a lot for your idea though, I appreciate it.
