From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Description of problem: I recently install FC2-test2 and encountered this problem, so I dropped back to FC1-release. I have a Sony Vaio PCG-FRV25 which uses an ATI Radeon IGP 340M video controller. Both the FC2-test2 and FC1-release generated the XF86Config file with a vesa driver for the card. The system worked with FC1-release up until I installed kernel-2.6.5-1.319 from Arjan's repository via yum install kernel. As soon as X starts (the first chvt in rc.sysinit), all disk activity ceases, and the screen blanks. The system has frozen, and must be power cycled to recover. When I change the video driver to radeon in XF96Config, it works again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.5-1.319 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Use 2.6.x kernel 2.Use vesa driver in XF86Config for ATI Radeon IGP340M chip 3.Start X Actual Results: System locks up at first chvt in rc.sysinit Expected Results: Successful X initialization Additional info: Easily bypassed, but it would be nice if the initial setup generated an XF86Config with the driver set as radeon.
