Averatec Laptop Useless Under FC3RC1

I have no idea where to even begin posting a bugzilla entry for this...

I have an Averatec 3200 laptop that installs cleanly under FC2. With both FC3T3 and FC3rc1 the following happened to me:

- Boot from CD. When graphical anaconda launches, the screen goes black. The CD continues to run, and if I hit enter after a while, it runs again, so I believe the machine is not locked up... there is just no video. - Try the install again passing "linux nofb" at the boot: prompt. Same result. - Try the install a third time using the text mode installer. Install succeeds, but... - Upon reboot, when the graphical grub should be displayed, the screen goes blank, much the same as when the graphical anaconda tries to load. This leaves my machine unusable, as I can't choose any other boot options. Reinstalling FC2 makes the machine usable again.

Any ideas where to begin. Since this seems to affect grub *and* anaconda, I don't know how to file the bug. Seems like a pretty major bug, though. Especially since these laptops worked under FC2. I'm downloading RC2 on the off chance it might help, but I'm not very hopeful.

Thanks
