Folks,

Just reporting success with an install from today's (11-18) Rawhide on
my HP Laptop (ze4500 series). Presumably with the freeze in effect,
today's build is essentially the same as what we'll see from FC5 Test 1.
So if you want a pre-preview.....

Thanks,
Mike
On the other hand....
Some module being probed during hardware initialization is munging my
video display.  This has happened with the Trident Cyberblade/i1 and an
ATI Rage XL card.

The screen comes back from reset with vertical lines and bits of text
(not even whole letters!) between the lines.  I've moved the tridentfb
module out of the way, and that implies that it's some other module that
is the culprit.  I'm off the hunIn my case I probl.
Any chance it could be hal, perhaps on an Athlon?

I upgraded five i686 boxes and one Athlon yesterday, and only the Athlon had problems.
I couldn't get X to start.  I tried three different graphics cards
without success.  Eventually I downgraded hal and that fixed it.

I don't recall why I suspected hal. Something in /var/log/messages I think.

It wasn't hal I downgraded, it was udev.  From udev-075-2 to udev-075-1.

Sorry for the false accusations against hal.

OP Here,  No, it is a Coppermine Celeron, it is a VIA chipset.  I've
used two video sets (Trident Cyberblade/i1(agp)  and  ATI Rage XL(pci))
to make sure it wasn't the video card _per_se_.  Can someone point me at
a copy of Udev-075-1?

I did more testing and generated bug #173720

The problem seems to be that udev-075-2 is imcompatible with older kernels.
I don't know where the transition is, but it works with
kernel-2.6.14-1.1688_FC5 but not with kernel-2.6.14-1.1632_FC5

1632 was the last kernel with working v4l drivers for tvtime so I'm sticking with
kernel-2.6.14-1.1632_FC5 and udev-075-1
Everything else is current, including modular X.
