Created attachment 416335 [details] /var/log/messages output Description of problem: When I boot without "nomodeset" I only get a black screen. When gdm is starting, there is for a short second the blue background with fedora f in the middle but it disappears quickly. the monitor is connected via VGA. Unfortunately I only have a VGA screen available. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 13 RC3 with all updates installed How reproducible: everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot without 'nomodeset' 2. 3. Actual results: black screen Expected results: normal plymouth boot screen Additional info: attached is the output which is printed in the logs
I'm not too certain how some of the messages you're seeing in your log are possible actually. Could you boot with "drm=debug=15 3" and save your dmesg output, and attach to this bug. Thanks :)

Can you give this scratch build a try: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2321029 The kernel version number in that package is the same as your current kernel, so you'll need to install with "rpm -Uvh --force".

I have autologin and vnc set up, so that I can access the screen remotely. Not sure if there's anything displayed on the screen right now, or just black.
Ok, just to confirm, your display issue is fixed however? The GPU is hanging for some reason, the only guess I have initially is to try "nouveau.noagp=1" also.
yes, the boot-screen is indeed fixed! But when gdm is started, the screen turns black (with and without nouveau.noagp=1). Should I open another bug for that? What useful information can I provide?
I'd say it's a completely unrelated bug, you can probably confirm/work around if you boot with "nouveau.noaccel=1"
correct, I can boot just fine with nouveau.noaccel=1. I guess running with noaccel=1 is still better than nomodeset? will open another bug then
Thank you :)

This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '13'. 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 13'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 13 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 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 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.
