There's definitely a bug here! First try, I removed nomodeset and I got the expected fedora infinity and everything went well, just like in f23 and just like in the regular anaconda installer on the live CD, except... GDM never starts! The computer just hangs. I cannot use ESC to switch to th

That's lots of information and none of it conflicting. Thanks, guys! I'll give it a try. It sounds very encouraging. This old box isn't done yet ;-) Yep, I realize that i686 is no longer supported, but I just can't rationalize spending hundreds on a new laptop (or other portable), considering

In F23, all went fine, but in F24, some video problems are showing up. After the grub menu, the machine is supposed to switch to the framebuffer and the boot image (fedora infinity goes from white to filled in) appears and one can switch to the boot message display with ESC. Well, not in F24
