Log of X starting -- result is blank screen, changing virtual terminals does not work
Same hardware (iBook G4/ati m9+ m5c63), same problem. However, I'm able to boot in runlevel 3 but the kernel drm/radeon driver is oopsing. So X won't start and I've the black screen in rc5. See the attached log. Also, with those kernels, plymouth(?) displays some bright white kernel lines and then displays three mixed progress lines (blue, light blue and white) at the bottom of the screen with some more garbage. Sorry no camera but, thrust me, it doesn't look good. Created attachment 318081 [details]
/var/log/messages with the kernel Oops
In addition to my X problem, I see the same plymouth problems as Benjamin (comment #2). However, I would like to point out that I did at one point have X working even though plymouth didn't look quite right. So, these seem to be separate problems. I had hoped that my problem was the same as the one in the thread at https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-October/msg00088.html. However, an update to the newest Rawhide (including a libdrm resync) did not seem to fix the problem. I've the same issue since xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-25.fc10.i386. After graphical boot, the Monitor turns off.
Good: xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-21.fc10.i386
Bad : xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-25.fc10.i386
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-27.fc10.i386
Sorry forgot to say: Graphic Card is "ATI Radeon HD 3850 AGP". xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-28.fc10.i386 is also broken! xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-29.fc10.i386 is also broken. I'va made a new bug-report for this bug, since it is not the same as in description: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=467966 I'm also seeing this (or at least these symptoms) on a similar machine to the submitter's. With the 2.6.25.11-97 kernel from F9, everything works. I downgraded my kernel to 2.6.26.6-79.fc9.ppc and the problem is fixed. Reassigned bug to kernel. The 2.6.27.5-94 f10 kernel also works for me. As far as I recall, 2.6.27.4-79 didn't. Fixed in 2.6.27.5-94.fc10.ppc. |
