This has been happening some time since F-15. Not always, but occasionally multiple times in a row. With F-16 I had believed it was gone, especially when the boot screen switched to grey colours, but it still happens: Shortly before the Plymouth LUKS passphrase prompt, the screen turns black, the monitor reports "No signal" and enters power-saving mode. The system hasn't crashed, because instead of pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del I can also enter the passphrase blindly for the boot procedure to continue. However, nothing "wakes up" the monitor afterwards. Switching to a virtual console causes the signal to return, and what is displayed on the screen is not GDM but the gray background with the central animation having reached 100% or nearly that. There is no virtual console available, and one cannot return to GDM either. Any hints on what I could try out? Or any theories about what could be the culprit? My obvious work-around is to boot without "rhgb". -- Fedora release 16 (Verne) - Linux 3.1.0-0.rc9.git0.0.fc16.x86_64 loadavg: 0.89 0.42 0.16 -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
