I wrote a couple of weeks ago, asking for help when the F7 installation DVD wouldn't boot on my laptop. I didn't get a solution to my problem so I installed F7 using the following solution: * Install minimal FC6 from installation media * yum update to latest versions of everything * Install F7 versions of fedora-release and fedora-release-notes rpms * yum update to update all rpms to F7 It took a while, but eventually I was finished and I had a FC6 system where all rpms had been updated to their F7 versions. Then I rebooted the laptop. That's when it went wrong. The boot sequence got as far as starting X when it hung. Further investigation shows that I can boot into runlevel 3, but it hangs when I run startx. There don't seem to be any error logs written. During the boot sequence I see a couple of error messages that mention not being able to access /dev/hda5. That bothers me as I thought that all disk devices were /dev/sdaX in F7. If it helps, the laptop is a Philips X51[1]. But I recently learnt that it's actually a rebadged Twinhead D12[2]. Any advice on how I can get a solution to this problem? Thanks, Dave...
