If you have no radeon.modeset=1 on kernel command line, than what happens? And of course the backtrace is lovely: Backtrace: 0: /usr/bin/Xorg(xorg_backtrace+0x26) [0x4e9a16] 1: /usr/bin/Xorg(xf86SigHandler+0x6f) [0x47de1f] 2: /lib64/libc.so.6 [0x7f79329ac400] 3: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules//libshadow.so(shadowUpdatePacked+0x1b7) [0x7f792f409a27] 4: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules//libshadow.so [0x7f792f40934b] 5: /usr/bin/Xorg(BlockHandler+0x85) [0x44b275] 6: /usr/bin/Xorg(WaitForSomething+0x151) [0x4e7441] 7: /usr/bin/Xorg(Dispatch+0x92) [0x446ec2] 8: /usr/bin/Xorg(main+0x3c5) [0x42d0e5] 9: /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xfd) [0x7f79329976cd] 10: /usr/bin/Xorg [0x42c559] Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting
Xorg starts normally if I do not boot with modesetting enabled. I'm not following you about the backtrace, are you saying it doesn't include the right information?
I think I'm seeing the same bug, but I'm not sure because I'm not passing any options about modesetting to the kernel. Is modesetting now the default, and if so, is there an option I can pass to disable it? Aside from the fact that I'm not passing any options to my kernel, my problem looks identical to this. I'm running kernel 2.6.29.3-140.fc11.x86_64. xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-13.fc11.x86_64

It switches modesetting off.

It switches modesetting off. I tried passing "nomodeset" to the kernel, and it made no difference. I'm still getting the same behavior as before.
I have the same issue. Comp boots up with default blue progress bar and then the screen dies. kernel = 2.6.29.3-140 my card = ATI Radeon Mobility 3450 HD system = Dell studio 1535 I am using the default driver. Booting with older kernel 2.6.29.1-102 has no problems but upon bootup a message pops up saying that a kernel failure had occurred and shows a backtrace.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Adam, you have in your dmesg the following lines: mtrr: your CPUs had inconsistent variable MTRR settings mtrr: probably your BIOS does not setup all CPUs. mtrr: corrected configuration. There is a feature that combines both the motherboard's embedded ATI graphics card and external ATI 3850 as behaving like a single display card. I think that if the BIOS setting of "Surround view" is "enabled", mtrr warnings come up and Fedora doesn't boot. If the bios setting is "disabled", mtrr warnings migth not turn up and Fedora boots up. Today Rawhide booted also with modesetting enabled with Surround view "disabled". Marko Ristola
Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates in various components of the Xorg system, which may have resolved this issue. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of their packages. For packages from updates-testing repository you can use command yum upgrade --enablerepo='*-updates-testing' Alternatively, you can also try to test whether this bug is reproducible with the upcoming Fedora 12 distribution by downloading LiveMedia of F12 Beta available at http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ . By using that you get all the latest packages without need to install anything on your computer. For more information on using LiveMedia take a look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD . Please, if you experience this problem on the up-to-date system, let us now in the comment for this bug, or whether the upgraded system works for you. If you won't be able to reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you. [This is a bulk message for all open Fedora Rawhide Xorg-related bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]
(In reply to comment #10) The issue seems to be fixed for me.
Reporter, could you please confirm comment 11?
(In reply to comment #12) > Reporter, could you please confirm comment 11? Doesn't work for me on F11 with latest kernel and the following packages: xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.4-0.3.fc11.x86_64 (from updates-testing) xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-14.fc11.x86_64 kernel-2.6.30.9-96.fc11.x86_64 Same issue seems to happen, Plymouth works perfectly but starting Xorg fails. Xorg log file is identical to the first I reported.
This happened to me under F12 as well.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
