Description of problem: 1. download dvd iso and verified disk before install 2. select software development option 3. accept default settings for LVM 4. when asked to add a used I gave a password with only 4 letters and it complained that it was not secure enough. The system went forward anyway, and did not let me go back to change the password. 5. Completed install 6. When the login screen should appear the graphic is only half the screen and the system freezes 7. Reboot and next time the whole screen is visible with a white overlay and only 3.4 of the size of the video monitor 8. Cannot login. No user exists but I can get to single user mode by editing grub and login as root. 9. The machine is not connected to the internet, but I could play with the settings and then try yum update. 10. Nothing found in search for similar bugs, but I do not think this can only be me. Recommendations? What info do you want added to the bug? What commands to run to get the info? I can deal with the general stuff but may need some guidance if it gets into running debug traces.

The problem was the graphics adapter. The system was using a card with a Trident Blade 3D (1999) chip. I plugged in a newer card and it worked. Is the card too old to be supported?
Hi, We no longer support Fedora Core 6 and I am currently trying to get my open bug count down to a more manageable state. I'm going to close this bug as WONTFIX. If this issue is still a concern for you, would you mind trying to reproduce on a supported version of Fedora and reopening? (this is a mass message)
