I've experienced the same bug. The only similarities between our two systems
are: Radeon 9800, USB optical mouse (mine is M$), and an Audigy sound card
(mine is an Audigy 2).
Similar bug but no similar components... I can get past the freeze by hard booting the system and ignoring the FSCHK. I hard booted and skipped the disk check, but the problem remained. I tried doing the interactive boot and skipping firstboot. The sequence went fine until and got me to the Fedora login screen -- since I had not created any users yet, I tried logging in as root, which it accepted, but then froze on the screen after login. It looked like a progress screen, but there was no progress indicated. And again, the keyboard and mouse were non-responsive... Same bug with identical components. Radeon 9800, Audigy 2, MS Optical Wheel Mouse. Same bug with identical components. Radeon 9800, Audigy 2, MS Optical Wheel Mouse. I've got the same problem happening. Totally different hardware. Mine is a Dell Latitude CPi D300XT laptop (older). It's got 128M ram, ~6G hard drive. The whole install process went fine, firstboot went fine, but now almost everytime I start the system up it totally freezes after about 2 minutes of being "up". I normally can't even get completely logged into gnome. If I let it sit long enough it hangs at the gdm login screen. I've also had the freeze happen in init 3 a few times, but if I start up in single user mode, and only have a few service started it doesn't happen. I'm starting to suspect acpi or that microcode_ctl service. I have not yet tried disabling everything and adding one service at a time. My problem disappeared after removing the rhgb option from /boot/grub/grub.conf Removing rhgb does nothing for me. Using the ATi proprietary fglrx driver fixes this issue. I think we're conflating different bugs. rhgb doesn't matter for me. The original submitter is IMHO seeing a problem that happens with 9600 and 9800 Radeons and the "radeon" driver. The key is, if you can change your XF86Config to say "Driver vesa" and things work. I installed RC1 from scratch. My card (9600) was not autodetected, and I left it as VESA. The install went fine and things run fine. Later I changed it to use the included radeon driver. On restarting, the Gnome login screen comes up. If I log in, the loading screen comes up but it freezes hard before any of the icons are displayed. Ctrl-Alt-whatever does nothing. Resetting, when get back to the Gnome login screen I try the failsafe session. Again I get a hard freeze. My specs: Sapphire Radeon 9600 Pro UE, P4 2.4CGHz (HT on), Intel 875PBZ board, Audigy2, Seagate 7200.7 SATA, Samsung ATAPI DVD. same problem here, i think its to do with the radeon 9800 pro i have a hang at firewire detection and then floppy access in text mode and at first boot and eth0 detection in the gui loader. i'm going to try and install in text mode then update the radeon drivers in initlevel 3, wish me luck lol. although i much prefer installing in graphical mode... this will have to do... Possible dupe of 108729? Yes, bug #108729 seems related. I'll go through bugzilla at a future date and find all dupes. I just haven't had time to investigate this issue yet, and the support for this hardware is experimental only, so has not been high priority yet. I'll probably look at it some time after christmas. same problem happens with my nvidia quadro 2 So how do you fix the problem and change to go back to VESA generic card in the meantime if I cant login? Either add 'single' to the kernel line temporarily by editing it at boot time in grub, or hit the 'I' key during startup when it says hit 'I' for interactive startup and say 'no' to 'local' services or 'xfree'. Then edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config file and restart. I just wanted to add that I have this problem as well. I have an NVIDIA card (Geforce2 FX) and not a Radeon, however I DO have Microsoft Optical Scroll mouse. I am running the stock NV driver, but I will see if the NVIDIA drivers make any difference. I get this too on an Asus Radeon 9600 XT on an Asus A7V8X-X motherboard (athlon 2600+). It seems to be the issue described in: http://www.mail-archive.com/xfree86@xfree86.org/msg11075.html As said in that mail, adding the XaaNoScreenToScreenCopy option seems to fix this (but makes scrolling slow). Might be a kernel issue: http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/12/7/32 Guys- Check out ATI's website. You can download the RPM from ATI's website. I installed it and it works great. Check out the bug 114818 that I submitted regarding this issue; the fix is also in there. Of course you could always just use the Vesa driver, but then you wouldn't get to build kernel modules and tell me, where's the fun in that? I have the same problem when trying to install Fedora. After the white screen with mouse cursor appears, it's doing something with floppy drive and the shortly after the floppy light shuts off (when it should rung graphical interface) it freezes. PC: - nForce2 EPOX 8RDA+ motherboard with SoundStorm, onboard LANAC - AthlonXP1700+ (Thouroughbred B) running at 11x194Mhz (2134Mhz) - Radeon 9800 Pro - 2x256MB PC 2700 RAM (Dual Channel) - PS2 keyboard, PS2 Logitech Wheel mouse - 20Gb IBM HDD, 120Gb 8Mb Seagate HDD - CD-ROM, DVD-ROM - ADSL Same here. Radeon 9800, system freezes on attempt to do anything in graphical display. Can get the other termnial screens to work so that I can log in to command prompt. - nForce2 Abit NF7-s, onboard LAN. - Athlon (Barton) xp3000+ running at stock, for installing. - Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb - 2x256Mb PC3200 RAM, 1x512Mb PC3200 Ram (Dual Channel) - MS Internet Pro USB keyboard, and Logitech USB optical mouse. Have run these as PS/2 to eliminate USB as cause, but to no avail. - SB Live! Platinum, and also with Audigy 2 ZS. - 120Gb HDD, and a 20Gb HDD. - CD-Rom, DVD-Rom Thats about it really.. Possible dupe of bug 121604? Not a dupe, this bug was filed before that one. Secondly, this is no longer a problem in Fedora Core 2 Test 3. So it's been fixed. That teaches me to do 10 things at once. Bug 121604 is a dupe of this bug. Sorry. *** Bug 121604 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Radeon 9200/9600/9800, and the Pro, SE, and XT variants of these are now officially supported in Fedora Core 2 and later OS releases. Once you've upgraded to Fedora Core 2 or later, this hardware should be automatically detected and configured. If you experience problems with the "radeon" driver in Fedora Core 2, please file a bug report in the X.Org bugtracker located at http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg" component.
