If you install in text mode, does X work ok afterwards? When I wrote earlier that the video card might be in the wrong mode, well I just redid an install and noticed that the monitor goes in power saving mode. When I boot, at some point, the system goes to graphical mode and again the display goes in power saving mode. Then the system hangs there. if I do CTRL- ALT-F1 I see that the boot process stopped at: Starting firstboot at this point there is no terminal available for me to login. Is firstboot trying to access the monitor while it is in power saving mode? This might go into another bug report... Try adding 'resolution=1024x768' to the boot command line. Also 'resolution=640x480' might help if that doesn't work. I have tried both command line arguments, but the display always goes in power saving mode. Created attachment 94239 [details]

/tmp/anaconda.log from the install process
This might be an ACPI issue with the kernel perhaps? just tried booting and the graphical install with acpi=off kernel command line and still does the same... Test3 installed without any problem. Seems the latest release solves this issue. |
