Hey, folks. So we pinned down that mysterious 'F16 Desktop live x86_64 install boots to a black screen' bug. Turns out that liveinst will always corrupt a small amount of data on install with anaconda 16.21; it's actually also happening in all the other live images that 'aren't affected', it's just that the chunk of data it happens to corrupt on the desktop x86_64 image is a couple of crucial system libraries so the bug is really obvious. On the other images it corrupts files that are not so crucial, so the system appears to boot correctly. We have a fix for this now, thanks to Brian Lane, and it'll be in the next anaconda build and in TC2, which we'll probably roll tomorrow. In the mean time, if you're doing live installs of TC1 for testing, please always use this updates.img: http://bcl.fedorapeople.org/updates/746844.img you can use an updates.img for a live install by passing 'updates=http://bcl.fedorapeople.org/updates/746844.img' as a kernel parameter or by running 'liveinst --updates=http://bcl.fedorapeople.org/updates/746844.img' to start the live installer after boot. Even if you're not affected by the really obvious case of this bug, anaconda _will_ be corrupting some other system file on install, it's just not as immediately noticeable - so use the updates image!
