Description of problem: After installing from netinstall image at http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/12-Alpha-RC2/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-12-Alpha-x86_64-netinst.iso, and getting past the no-initrd-in-grub.conf bug I've already reported, I got to a completely unresponsive firstboot screen. Mouse and keyboard do nothing; caps lock light doesn't respond. Looks a lot like the Intel bug #509519, except that was only after certain actions (for me at least), while this is right from the start. Also, after a time, the screen does blank; I never let it go long enough to find out if it did that under #509519. System is accessible by SSH, also like #509519. I suppose there ought to be a text-only version of firstboot, but haven't found/tried it yet. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Unknown at the moment; I'll report when I start it up again tomorrow. Whatever's on that disk I linked above. But could very well be kernel, anaconda, or xorg-x11-drv-intel rather than firstboot anyway. How reproducible: seems very Steps to Reproduce: 1. install Alpha RC2 2. reboot 3. wait for firstboot to start up Actual results: Frozen unresponsive firstboot screen. Expected results: Firstboot that lets me set up the system. Additional info: Video is Intel i915, in an Acer 4730 laptop.
I realized, of course, that the anaconda version depends on what was available when the disk image was created; I don't know any way to find it from having the disk, offhand. Based on the image date and the build dates in Koji, it was probably anaconda-12.15-1.fc12. Other than that: kernel-2.6.31-0.162.rc6.git2.fc12.x86_64 firstboot-1.108-1.fc12.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.8.0-6.fc12.x86_64

Sorry, mentally added this to my to-do list after I got #4, and then it slipped my mind. Yes, F12 is working quite nicely on the same laptop now, as far as this is concerned. Not sure which closed status is most appropriate for this then? but I'll try CURRENTRELEASE.
