This also happens in the text installer. When user hits <Enter> at the "Welcome to Fedora!" message. I have no means of installing Fedora right now other than to install it somewhere else and dd it to this hard drive. The rescue image does the same thing after the prompts for whether or not to mount local drives. Fedora 9 Smolt profile for this machine: http://www.smolts.org/show?uuid=pub_9df57adf-b9b4-43e4-b317-dd1f6abb3966 I think I may have found a possible cause. Since I last ran anaconda I have upgraded my video card from the onboard GeForce 7050, to a PCI-E GeForce 8400GS. I specified vga=vesa in the kernel line and was then able to get past the first screen of anaconda. Interestingly I had another PC with this card in it that worked fine with anaconda in Fedora 8, but never tried Fedora 9 or 10 on that machine. When the first graphical screen comes up, can you press ctrl-alt-f2, grab /tmp/X.log, and attach it to this bug report? Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.
