I tried several times to boot with an edited grub entry, without success. This last time it suddenly started up a blue screen with the Fedora infinity sign - and I thought I was winning - but it's still sitting there, a black screen with a flashing cursor at the top left. If I don't crack this soon I'll end up wiping it and installing from disk. Later - well, at least I got as far as a text login. Now I have to try to get the display working. system-config-display is not installed. Yum tells me that it can't retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository:fedora. I have already disabled adobe repo and ATrpms repo, and I guess that it's going to fail on all the others too, by the sound of it. Any ideas?
