In my case, I could never log onto the new F16 install, graphically. Just got that crappy "oh no" graphic, with no way to get any further. However, I was lucky in that I could CTRL+ALT+F2 (or one of the other terminals), and log into a command line. I let a "yum update" do its thing, and after that I could log into a graphical system. That sort of thing would be one of my first things to try if a new install wasn't working right. Certainly not reformatting and re-installing, this isn't Windows. If the install seemed to work without any errors, the first time around, then I'd be fairly sure that the install had worked. And that another attempt wouldn't be any different. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
