Description of problem: After application of 2.6.27.3-34.rc1.fc10.x86_64 and 2.6.27.39.fc10.x86_64 receive a whitescreen instead of logon screen when booting. When I specify "nomodeset" I receive a black screen. Workaround is to boot with kernel 2.6.27.3-30.rc1.fc10.x86_64 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Kernel: 2.6.27.39.fc10 How reproducible: Normal boot Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot system 2. 3. Actual results: No special boot parameters receive: White Screen "nomodeset" receive: Black Screen Expected results: Receive login screen. Additional info:
Created attachment 321353 [details] results of dmesg of system, before X started
Created attachment 321354 [details] Xorg.0.log when whitescreen occurs
Created attachment 321355 [details] Xorg.0.log when blackscreen occurs

This looks the same as 468369.
Applied: kernel-2.6.27.3-44.fc10.x86_64 Problem still exists. Attaching new dmesg and Xorg.0.log. Also, found that what is occurring without "nomodeset" parameter is: 1. Black screen with cursor blinking in upper left hand corner of screen 2. Then white screen with some "sparkles" appears 3. Then hang 4. Pressing power button without holding it down signals normal system shutdown Workaround is kernel 2.6.27.3-30.rc1.fc10.x86_64
Created attachment 321508 [details] dmesg with kernel 2.6.27.3-44
Created attachment 321509 [details] Xorg.0.log with kernel 2.6.27.3-44
Created attachment 321510 [details] xorg.conf being used due to bug 467983
For clarity purposes, problem also occurs when "nomodeset" is specified.

Same problem here, seems only to happen with ATI gpu's. I have some other symptons actually: normal: - if plymouth is loaded (no bar comes up), my monitor starts blinking and nothing happens with nomodeset: - I see the plymouth bar running till end .... nothing happens Really nasty, anyone knows where to find "old" working kernels, forced to use a fc9 kernel now ...
I'm having similar problems... You can get older kernels from koji: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8

My symptoms are similar. When X starts, I get a "garbage pattern" with horizontal lines on the screen (maybe the result of uninit'ed video RAM?). If I boot with nomodeset, I also get a black screen when X starts.

While I haven't tried it, the machine seems to be responsive when it's in this state. It's just the display that's problematic. I can probably set it up so that I can ssh into the laptop when it's in this state and collect other info if it'll be helpful.
Applied: kernel-2.6.27.4-47.rc3.fc10.x86_64 Problem still exists. No change. Workaround continues to be: kernel-2.6.27.3-30.rc1.fc10.x86_64
Applied: kernel-2.6.27.4-51.fc10.x86_64 Problem still exists. No change. Workaround continues to be: kernel-2.6.27.3-30.rc1.fc10.x86_64
Applied: kernel-2.6.27.4-58.fc10.x86_64 Problem resolved. Closing. Nice razzle/dazzle startup eye-candy btw... ;-)
