Description of problem:
Bad:
Installed Fedora FC2, chose custom installation and not workstation or
server.  On reboot (or boot from a powered off state), the console
will go blank after the choice for interactive startup is shown.  

Log in using ssh from another computer and firstboot is hung:

[root@sponge log]#  ps -ef | grep firstboot
root      2240  1356  0 15:13 ?        00:00:00 /bin/bash
/etc/rc5.d/S95firstboot start
root      2247  2240  0 15:13 ?        00:00:00 /bin/sh
/usr/sbin/firstboot
root      2248  2247  0 15:13 ?        00:00:15 /usr/bin/python2
/usr/share/firstboot/firstboot.py
root      2353  2272  0 15:40 pts/1    00:00:00 grep firstboot

/var/log/messages is attached.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firstboot-1.3.14-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Installed with SELinux
2. Thought SELinux might be the problem, reinstall without SELinux
3. 
    

Actual Results:  Still no console - monitor even goes into power save
mode.

Expected Results:  Graphical or text login on console.

Is the system trying to use the parallel port for a console?
