So Luya lugged his box over here and we figured this one out (ah, the advantages of physical access)...the problem turns out to be that his nouveau crash is so bad it's actually preventing anaconda getting to the point where it brings up sshd. When we booted basic graphics mode with the 'sshd' parameter, we were able to remote in just fine. So the sshd parameter works as expected, the only bug is the problem with nouveau on his card. We were able to get the kernel logs from the nouveau problem and append them to his bug report - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=821180 . -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
