Re: fc6t2 install hangs after trying to start X

Two questions: Are you using the iso images directly from the hard drive that you are using for the install? Have you tried a text mode install?

I'm not sure what your first question means, but I think the answer is yes.
My images are on hda3 in the tmp directory and that's what I specify
after booting from a CD with the first disk image and using "linux
askmethod".

Yes, I was asking whether you expanded the disk content or if you just placed the iso images in a directory when installing.

I tried a text install today and it worked, but came up in text mode after
the install and system-config-display failed with symptoms similar to
the failure during the install.  I can send the X log to you if you want.
The tail of it is pasted below.

Probably the best thing to do is to yum -y update "xorg*" your system to get the latest upgrades for your system in order to see if current rawhide has the fix applied.

yum -y update "xorg*" changed the behavior, but it still didn't work.
Instead of exiting, startx and system-config-display both caused the
monitor to go blank and the little led on the monitor started flashing
indicating no signal or a bad signal I think.

If that does not fix the problem, you might attempt changing the driver in your xorg.conf from i810 to vesa and attempting to start X. If the vesa driver works and the i810 is causing problems, you might be able to file a bug report against the i810 driver for xorg-x11.
Changing i810 to vesa made it start working.

Thanks...
