This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux major release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Major release. This request is not yet committed for inclusion. Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information especially concerning your hardware we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. If the computer is not completely frozen when installation fails, stay in the console (Ctrl+Alt+F2) and copy /tmp/X* and /var/log/anaconda.xlog to some other place -- USB stick, some other computer via network, somewhere on the Internet, and please attach it to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link above. If the computer is completely useless after installation fails, you can also install Fedora with a VESA mode driver (see http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Installation_Guide/ for more information on that). Then after successful installation you can collect /var/log/anaconda.xlog, /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and the output of the program dmesg instead. Or you can install Fedora in a text mode completely, and then start X after that. If it fails, still /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the output of dmesg program from the failed attempt to start X would be useful. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thank you very much in advance. Hello here are the promised logs from RHEL6_20100610 Hope it will help you. Again after moving to the console and then pressing ALT+F7 machine started to not respond. Created attachment 424797 [details]

Well, I can't see how that warning would prevent switching VTs. But regardless, it's a report problem - not an anaconda problem. I have logs (Xorg.log, ps aux, dmesg) from the "crashed" system. From the ps output is visible that the whole Xorg died and probably haven't do all necessary "cleanups" so switching back to vconsole is imposible. The log is from RHEL6.0-20100620 Hope it will help you. The issue is 100% reproducible on my system. Created attachment 425942 [details]

Can you ssh into the machine, start X from the ssh session, and reproduce the crash? I suspect there's output on the X server's stderr that isn't making it into the X log. Hi Adam, unfortunately the problem with reproducing is following: I'm able to reproduce the issue only by standard way. This means: 1) Boot latest RHEL 6.0 media (pxe or dvd-drive) 2) X will be started automatically 3) Ctrl + Alt + F1 4) Ctrl + Alt + F6 Expected results: I'll be switched to X. Ctrl+Alt+F(n) switching will work. Actual results: Xorg process is not running anymore, system doesn't respond to input from keyboard If I'll do it in following steps, the issue will not appear: 1) Boot latest RHEL 6.0 media (pxe or dvd-drive) 2) X will be started automatically 3) Ctrl + Alt + F1 4) ps -ef > /tmp/processes.txt (to see arguments given to Xorg and anaconda) 5) killall Xorg 6) anaconda will fall back to the text mode 7) Ctrl + Alt + F2 (or F3, I don't remember) 8) killall anaconda (anaconda will be killed, so I can start anaconda again) 9) execute anaconda with the same arguments as in /tmp/processes.txt 10) Xorg is started automatically Expected results: I'll be switched to X. Ctrl+Alt+F(n) switching will work. Actual results == Expected results. Hope it will help you. I recommend you to grab T400 with the same hardware (lspci_t400.txt and Xorg.log) and test it by your own. The problem is that installation DVD has minimalist set of applications.

lspci_t400
does booting with intel_iommu=off help? Hello Dave, intel_iommu=off is not helping. I ran to the same issue on RHEL6.0 20100629. Hello I just tested newer nightly build and this problem just gone away on
xorg-x11-server 1.7.7.-17.el6 {x86_64,i686}
Feel free to re-open this issue if you'll find it on a current nightly build.
