Description of problem:
Graphical install fails for Fedora 10 Beta and newer, but worked with Fedora 10 Alpha. I am using Saphire X1650 graphics card.

I was able to install Fedora 10 Preview in text mode, but had to revert to the kernel (2.6.27-0.166.rc0.git8.fc10.i686) from Fedora 10 Alpha to get X to work.

If I boot with any newer kernel the screen goes black, and system freezes.

I am not using a Xorg.conf file


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


How reproducible:
Always reproducible, booting kernels newer than 2.6.27-0.166.rc0.git8.fc10.i686.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot system

2. At the grub menu, select any kernel newer than
   2.6.27-0.166.rc0.git8.fc10.i686

3. Screen goes black, system freezes

 
Actual results:
Screen goes black, system freezes

Expected results:
Boot into X and login

Comment 2 Dave Airlie 2008-11-09 20:04:28 UTC 
please boot with drm.debug=1 and attach the dmesg.

if you can do it from -166 and a newer kernel that would be great.
Comment 3 Jason 2008-11-10 00:21:18 UTC 
Never had to do that before, could you provide more specific/detailed instructions for booting with drm.debug=1
Comment 4 TK009 2008-11-25 14:49:57 UTC 
Just after post up hit any key to bring up the boot list menu. Then hit "e" to edit the boot parameters and add drm.debug=1 to the end of those parameters and hit enter.

Thank you for your help.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.
