Description Roman Polach 2011-11-16 17:54:55 UTC 
When I boot
Fedora 16 i686 Live desktop CD
it shows background wallpaper
at the end and nothing more.
It freezes.
I cannot install it or do anything else.

What kind of hardware is this?

Does the install media (not the livecd) boot and work?

If you remove 'rhgb quiet' from the kernel command line, do you see any additional traces?

lshw output
Comment 3 Roman Polach 2012-01-25 12:37:50 UTC 
Attaching lshw output...
I suspect the reason is my graphics: Radeon HD 4350 (Rv710)

I will try remove 'rhgb quiet' soon...
Comment 4 Roman Polach 2012-01-26 00:19:17 UTC 
while removing 'rhgb' and 'quiet' resulted in the
same state, I found out the real problem:
system is not frozen, only gnome-shell panel is
displayed on the second display (hdmi) which was
off i that time. While this can be considered a bug
it is not this one, so I am closing this one.
