i've installed 7.89 using boot.iso (i386) . since i have a slow connection and i had not much time, i've installed only a basic system (no x, etc). after, i've groupinstalled x and gnome. i've tried several times servic firstboot start but it freezes as reported above, and i give up. one interesting thing to note: after 'useradd guzu' , guzu was unable to log into x, pretending that /home/guzu does not exist, even if it exists and the reights were just fine. i've removed the user, logged into gnome using root, added user guzu using s-c-u and after it worked fine. yum-updatesd's gui (whatever it's name) worked slow or freezes (nobody will ever know since i stopped it :)) so i fall back to plain yum where you can at least aproximate mirror speed. i've not seen other issues till now.

Update: I've narrowed it down to the July 17th rawhide. So something in
this changelog broke booting:
http://redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2007-July/msg00374.html
I'm guessing kernel, but binutils changes can be tricky too..
