That bug has to be fixed. As a > workaround, try booting with the "nomodeset" flag: > 1. hold down a key while booting so GRUB shows up > 2. press the e key to edit the boot commands > 3. press the e key on the first command (the kernel command) to get to the > kernel's arguments > 4. append a space and the word nomodeset > 5. press Enter to confirm > 6. press the b key to boot the modified sequence > if that fixes it, you can edit your /boot/grub/grub.conf file to append > nomodeset to the kernel's command line as a permanent workaround. If it > doesn't fix it, then the bug is not in kernel modesetting (KMS), but some > other area of the kernel (probably DRI/DRM, the Direct Rendering > Interface/Manager). > > In any case, please also file a bug at https://bugzilla.redhat.com > against "kernel" with your findings, what you're seeeing is clearly a > kernel bug. > > Kevin Kofler > Thank you, It works!
