My hunch is that this is related to a problem that I saw recently. https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/23/303 (In reply to comment #1) > My hunch is that this is related to a problem that I saw recently. > https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/23/303 I just tried setting slub_debug=-1 but the screen still goes black and there is no output even after 1 hour.

Nouveau log
Even when booting in text mode the screen blacks out. As a last test I reinstalled F16, that works fine with the initial kernel. Then I installed kernel-3.3.0-0.rc6.git0.2.fc17.x86_64, see new attachment for messages related to the nouveau driver. The X log ends with: [ 32.231] (II) NOUVEAU(0): NVEnterVT is called. [ 34.230] (EE) NOUVEAU(0): failed to set mode: Device or resource busy Fatal server error: [ 34.230] failed to create screen resources Same here with a GTX260M, but I can also install by choosing "Troubleshooting->Install Fedora in basic graphics mode". Until I hit the btrfs bug, that is. I tried the recent kernel-3.3.0-0.rc6.git2.2.fc18.x86_64.rpm and it works, nouveau works once more. kernel 3.1 worked for this machine, 3.2 and 3.3 did not and now 3.4 seems to be ok again. This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Created attachment 567985 [details] Output from lspci Description of problem: Installer fails: Screen blacks out when booting installer from dvd. acpi=off works and allows installation, the installation then finally fails to boot - possibly a different issue. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot F17 alpha dvd 2. Screen black out, passing acpi=off allows boot to continue 3. Actual results: Graphical install does not work Expected results: Install should work Additional info: The machine is an "HP Pavilion HPE h8-1080sc". The output from lspci under F16 is attached. The cpu is listed by lshw as "Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz" Under F16 there is no problem installing but later updates broke the nouveau driver, the Nvidia driver from rpmfusion works fine.
