Description of problem: Fedora Core 7 (6.93) will not install in graphical mode in Virtual PC 2007 (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/virtualpc/default.mspx). Anaconda starts, detects the video card properly (as an S3), and then fires off the X Server. Nothing happens after that (the whole screen goes black and there is no HD, CPU, or CD activity. If I hit Ctrl+Alt+F1, It switches to text mode install, and I can install fine from there. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.93 How reproducible: Install Virtual PC 2007 (I am using Vista X32 as a host), download ISO of Fedora Core 7 (6.93), boot to install and choose graphical install Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install Virtual PC 2007 (I am using Vista X32 as a host) 2.download ISO of Fedora Core 7 (6.93) 3.boot to install and choose graphical install Actual results: After anaconda detects video card, all of Virtual PC goes black, and nothing else happens Expected results: Fedora should install in graphical mode Additional info:
Odd. Can you attach the output of running 'lspci -n' from within the Virtual PC machine?
Sure! Result is: 00:00.0 0600: 8086:7192 (rev 03) 00:07.0 0601: 8086:7110 (rev 01) 00:07.1 0101: 8086:7111 (rev 01) 00:07.3 0680: 8086:7113 (rev 02) 00:08.0 0300: 5333:8811 00:0a.0 0200: 1011:0009 (rev 20)
Okay, two more requests: - the output of "lspci -vn -s 0:8" - /var/log/Xorg.0.log from after trying to start X If the log file doesn't exist, just try to run X (X :0), and then V switch using Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get back to a text console.
Output of "lspci -vn -s 0:8" 00:08.0 0300: 5333:8811 (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0 Memory at f8000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64M] As far as the Xorg.0.log... Virtual PC treats everything within as an image, so I can't copy from that log file, I have to transcribe everything by hand (which is SUPER hard seeing as the graphics are messed up, even in single user mode). Is there a particular line (or lines) that you need from the Xorg log file?
Reporter, sorry I don't understand Virtual PC at all -- is not it possible at least to copy+paste it to some web form (in such case, I would even lift up my hatred against pastes into this bug form ;-)), or scp it out of the Virtual PC to some real computer?
Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.
No information requested was provided, so I close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Reporter, if you could, please, reopen with additional information.
