Getting more and more unhappy since F8. Multiboot system with VISTA, F8 and F10 with only minor Glitches in F10. Tried to do preupgrade on the F10 partition.Things seemed to go alright until the reboot. System locks up with a blank screen. The performance of the driver for the "Intel Corporation" "82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller" has been poor since F8. The "i810" driver that gives good performance in F8 doesn't work for F10. The "Intel" driver gives an offset screen. It only woks without an xorg.conf. The result of system-config-display is a lockup. I filed a bug report long ago that I was notified was going away with F10 unless I could show that it was still in the newer system. The stanza in grub was as follows: title Upgrade to Fedora 12 (Constantine) kernel /boot/upgrade/vmlinuz preupgrade repo=hd::/var/cache/yum/preupgrade stage2=hd:UUID=e990768e-e724-4250-bfc1-a25e0320e099:/boot/upgrade/install.img ks=hd:UUID=e990768e-e724-4250-bfc1-a25e0320e099:/boot/upgrade/ks.cfg initrd /boot/upgrade/initrd.img The UUID agrees with what was in the F10 stanza. I saw in the forum the advice to add xdriver=vesa nomodeset to the kernel line. That change enabled the session to get a little farther, but it then fails with a message box that it can't find the root of the system to upgrade. Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0xf4fd4adf Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 19 6949 55673257+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 1 18 144553+ 83 Linux /dev/sda3 6950 30401 188378190 5 Extended /dev/sda5 6950 13328 51239286 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda6 13329 13670 2747083+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda7 * 13671 22102 67730008+ 83 Linux /dev/sda8 22103 30401 66661686 83 Linux Tried adding a root declaration to the kernel line but neither root=/dev/sda7 nor root=UUID=e990768e-e724-4250-bfc1-a25e0320e099 made any difference. Tried the installation DVD but the text mode install won't recognize my disk structure. The graphical install locks up. Is there a way to add the "xdriver=vesa nomodeset" to the graphical startup? The netinstall CD and a liveCD all have the graphics problem. I have the INTEL compiler suite and MATHEMATICA on the system that don't stay nicely in /home. Letting the text mode install convert my partition to LVM would not be nice!!!
