Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 9 beta I have a computer with fedora 8 on it for the last few weeks and i was wanting to try the new fedora 9 beta. however immediately after the check of the installation media, once i click the "next" button, the monitor cease to work and i am presented with a "signal out of range" error on the monitor. is it maybe just a bad iso, or is this something that will probably be fixed prior to the actual release? i was really looking forward to the new KDE. i am running a dual core pentium 1.86's and an nvidia 8600 gt card. however didn't have any problems with the previous version of Fedora and/or Opensuse 10.2 and/or 10.3 which have all succesfully completed installation on this particular system. The monitors in question are a pair of LG L226W 's. upon shutting down the computer the last command that appears to have run is the starting of the X server from the installation disk. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.
This is a "fatal error", after skipping the media check and clicking "next" during a "fresh install" the monitors fail. there is no way to get a conf file from anywhere. after pressing CTRL+ALT+DLT the computer shuts down and at that moment you can briefly see on the screen the last command which is the loading of the x server. there would not be any point in sending you my regular conf file as my computer works normally when booting to the the fedora 8 installed operating system. i will attempt to do a text-based install in the coming days and see if i can get any further... i just don't want to ruin my box and have to re-install 8.
After the crash switch with Alt+F2 to the other console. Insert USB drive, find in the end of dmesg what device it is (something like /dev/sd*1), and then copy whole content of /tmp on that USB drive. Please attach the result to this bug as an attachmanet. Thank you very much
