OK, I tried several installs and tried to minimize what has to be done and it already works when adding nomodeset, without any additional xdriver or vga options. After that, booting the system and starting X works too (without any xorg.conf), but switching consoles only works when I have added some vga setting (I use vga=792) to the grub kernel parameter list. The nomodeset is also in this list (added by anaconda). Also, for the graphical boot screen the vga=... setting is needed too.

F12 install stops at screen switch (language select)
Hi, I had the crazy idea to try F12 again on an IBM system (SurePOS 565, specific Point-of-Sale hardware, with 82915G/GV/910GL), on which RHEL4 was the last RHEL/Fedora version I could install without problems (see also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=339361 for some comments about RHEL5 on this system). Well, while graphics didn't work at some point in older releases (I don't remember which Fedora I tried last, maybe F9 or F10), now the install stops even earlier, just after: running /sbin/loader detecting hardware waiting for ... Then the screen blanks (instead of showing the language selection) and I can't do anything more than CTRL-ALT-DEL. Any suggestions?

Fedora and Atheros L2
Hi, Can anyone tell me if the Atheros L2 (wired) Ethernet controller is standard supported in F11 (and if yes, of there are any known issues with it)?

I don't completely agree that desktops tend to need to run the latest and greatest (when we're talking about business desktops), but desktops (especially also when talking about laptops because of HW compatibilities) need newer software than RHEL offers, based on now 3 year old base versions of most packages (except Firefox and a few others). -- --Jos Vos j...@xos.nl --X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 --Amsterdam, The Netherlands| Fax: +31 20 6948204 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
F11: install freezes on Thinkpad
Hi, I just did an F11 (final images) install on a ThinkPad T61p, where F9 and F10 were installing fine. Last time I looked the progress bar was at about 75%. When I looked 10 minutes later, the screen was black, the system was still on, but I could only do a hard reset and the install was not completed (at least my /boot partition did not contain the bootloader as requested). It was not a power issue or so (system was not running on battery). Any suggestions? I still have the partly installed partitions (systems also contains a working F9 and F10). -- --Jos Vos j...@xos.nl --X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 --Amsterdam, The Netherlands| Fax: +31 20 6948204 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

I started the install again, with exactly the same choices etc., and now it works. I remember that during the first try I accidentally hit the back button just after anaconda had done the partitioning. It said that it couldn't go back (which was correct), but the pointer stayed busy (i.e. a clock), until I had proceeded to the next screen. So anaconda might have been set to some undesired state and not having remembered the bootloader settings. -- --Jos Vos j...@xos.nl --X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 --Amsterdam, The Netherlands| Fax: +31 20 6948204 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
