Description of problem: Unable to start any video, can't even load the live disk How reproducible: just boot up the live disk Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download and burn iso 2. Boot up Live disk 3. Video does not show up Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
What happens if you append "nouveau.modeset=0" to the boot options?
booting up with the nouveau.modeset=0 displays a message that says nouveau.modeset=0 is being ignored because it doesn't know what it's doing. The fail back loading screen (solid bars progressing toward the end of the screen) is displayed. When the loading screen is done, I'm presented with a blank screen. This was tested using the Fedora 12 beta live disk
OK, so it's nouveau failing then for sure. Are you able to attach your /var/log/messages please.
whenever I boot up the live disk I don't have any video, is there a way I could automate this task.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I just booted up the Fedora 12 rc4 iso and everything is working. I have video and the boot screen correctly displays the animation. The driver always reports my VGA port as being connected to a device but the option can be manually disabled using the System Settings menu in KDE. With this fix I'll be able to use fedora full time and will be able to provide information. The bug has been fixed, this can be closed and I'll start a new bug regrading the VGA port. Thank you
Thanks for letting us know.
