Comment 1 Matthias Runge 2011-03-11 15:26:23 UTC
since xorg-update today, it goes some further:
Log into gnome3 shows a desktop (menuline on top and bottom of the screen). System freezes right after desktop appears.
Maybe hardware related?

System start, login into gnome desktop, crash (/var/log/messages)

Comment 6 Matthias Runge 2011-03-13 20:14:10 UTC
Sadly, I was unable, to catch more detailed logs. System is does not react in any form, when desktop is shown.

Comment 7 Matthias Runge 2011-03-13 20:19:28 UTC
in messages, there is one crash mentioned:
Mar 13 20:50:59 sofja gnome-session[2287]: WARNING: Application 'gsettings-data-convert.desktop' failed to register before timeout

calling gsettings-data-convert results in another error:

Comment 8 Matthias Runge 2011-03-13 20:56:44 UTC
using kernel-2.6.37.2 from koji works. seems to be a kernel issue

Comment 9 Dave Airlie 2011-03-19 08:13:31 UTC
kernel 2.6.38 and over should also work, it was a bug in the 38-rc series fixed in final.

Comment 10 Matthias Runge 2011-03-19 12:21:48 UTC
Sadly, it still crashes reproducible, so issue is not fixed. The system is fully updated.

Comment 11 Matthias Runge 2011-03-19 17:21:34 UTC
OK, this is getting a little awkward for me. I tried it again (today) and it's currently running flawlessly, not crashing, gnome shell runs ok.

I'll keep an eye on this.
