Description Alessandro Volpi 2006-05-04 19:39:08 UTC

Description of problem:
After updating the kernel version from 2.6.16-1.2096_FC5 to 2.6.16-1.2107_FC5
the init procedure hangs with a black screen with a (working) cross pointer in
the mid. The only way to start the system is to kill the X-server woth
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. The init procedures goes on successfully until the text
login screen is shown. After a few seconds the X-server is automatically started
once again and everything works as expected.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.16-1.2107_FC5

How reproducible:
100% reproducible

Steps to Reproduce:
1.start the system selecting kernel on the grub screen
2.wait for the X-server hang at the first start of the component
3.  
Actual results:
X-server hang

Expected results:
graphical starup screen with "Show Details" button etc

Additional info:
System startup of 2.6.16-2096_FC% works perfectly even after the installation of
newer kernel 2.6.16-1.2107_FC5 .
The system is a Dell Latitude C800 notebook.
The FC5 installation was possible only by disabling the monitor recognition; a
normal procedure resulted in a X-server hang. After the installation the
1400x1050 Dell Laptop monitor was selected and works perfectly with both
mentioned kernel version. Nothing changes if a "generic LCD 1400x1050" screen is
selected.

I see the same problem on a Lattitude D600. Just hangs after devd. Every time.

Marking as duplicate.
Lots of problems with that kernel.  I believe it's been pulled.
