      Nouveau problem. Multi-booting F-15 and F-16.  Nouveau
        works perfectly in in F15, but it does not wok in F-16.  I have
        filed a bug against it
        (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=755336).  

        
        Excerpts from  bug report:

        -Four clean install attempts

        -The first boot crashes the system after the request to send
        hardware

        information. A hardware reset is needed to recover. Restarts in
        VESA mode only.

        -Installing nVidia proprietary drivers in F-16 allows Gnome3
        operation.

        
        Have anyone had a similar experience?  Any suggestions?

        
        Thanks.

    Did you try setting nouveau.noaccel=1  on the kernel line?  I had
    problems with the nouveau drivers, posted repeatedly to bugzilla,
    but no luck.  Only turning off acceleration for nouveau seemed to
    let me run at all, but even then I would experience the occasional
    crash.
