After a yum update, booting to level 3 (inittab=3), system-config-display things look ok. It knows about the nvidia card, resolutions are reasonable for the lcd. From that point, startx as root works nicely. Logoff and 'telinit 5' and user logins work. Reboot starting with inittab=5, it won't even display the initial login screen. 2332 tty7 Ss+ 0:00 /usr/bin/Xorg :1 -br -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-XS1GRQ/database -nolisten tcp 2342 tty8 Ss+ 0:00 /usr/bin/Xorg :2 -br -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-8OLaWQ/database -nolisten tcp 2351 tty9 Ss+ 0:00 /usr/bin/Xorg :3 -br -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-j3mb22/database -nolisten tcp 2360 tty10 Ss+ 0:00 /usr/bin/Xorg :4 -br -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-ywqo7q/database -nolisten tcp 2414 tty11 Ss+ 0:00 /usr/bin/Xorg :5 -br -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-XvXic1/database -nolisten tcp Which is similar to the previous symptoms. grub.conf shows: title Fedora (2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i686) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i686 ro root=UUID=891802db-5af5-41d3-84a1-2de2803dfe5a quiet irqpoll initrd /initrd-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i686.img I think I added that irqpoll to try to fix previous issues with the built-in intel video. Is that possibly messing up the nvidia side. But the symptoms look like a loop trying to bring up X. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFJjjSaL6j7milTFsERAufSAKCCYyi3IFRKLuzKGTeORX9w/JxTGQCaAtms GIAnDRsl/me12hknORtzWO8= =vSBq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
