From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) Description of problem: Bad: install appears to hang Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Load FC4 i386 2.use graphical install 3.wait Actual Results: In graphical mode after 'X' screen is diplayed, screen turns and stays white. nothing happens with normal key strokes, enter, space, tab, arrows, etc... Expected Results: Fedora Core graphic should display Additional info: In graphical mode after 'X' screen is diplayed, screen turns and stays white. After playing around with function keys, found using Fn+F3 then Fn screen goes to proper Fedora Graphics and install continues without a hitch. This is a problem on FC4 but not in FC1 Loading onto an IBM Thinkpad 770Z laptop I had no problems on two desktop systems with a CRT Also FC4 did not load in 1024x768 native resolution, but in 800x680 After figuring out the Fn+F3 then Fn keystrokes I was abel to reconfigure to LCD 1024x768 in display properties. From my non-programmer perspective, I think it has to do with the screen restore function after closing the screen on a laptop
Does booting with 'linux nofb' help?
