Is xfs running? Also, is this a clean install of skipjack, or is it an upgrade from a previous release of Red Hat Linux. If it was an upgrade, is it an upgrade from a clean install, or from a system which may have contained previous rawhide contents?
I've also seen this. To replicate - as root dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/annoymikeharrisalot when it says disk full reboot the machine xfs fails to start up (no disk space in /tmp) and X then fails
I upgraded XFree86 from 4.2.0-6.48 to -6.51 and got the same problem: $ startx ...snip... Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' I restarted xfs, but it did not help. Any clue?

This bug was caused when I changed the globs for the files in the base-fonts package in order to flag individual files properly. When I changed from the glob fonts.* to individual filenames, fonts.alias didn't click into my head, so it got missed. Simple goofup on my part. Problem should now be fixed in 4.2.0-6.52 in rawhide. alan - that /tmp issue is separate this time. ;o) It's still open in another bugziller somewhere.. on the todo list though. Once someone confirms this fixed, please change resolution to RAWHIDE.

Eagerly awaiting the fix ... when's the next push due? Quick fix is of course to downgrade base-fonts to -6.48 (which requires XFree86 at -6.48 too, I just did both but you could use --nodeps).
confirmed fix in 4.2.0-6.52 in rawhide.
I can't see a -6.52 anywhere ... where are you getting it?
Ah, please ignore ... just seen it on Mike's FTP area. Wasn't there last time I checked.
Whoopsie.. billc got dropped in a bugzilla mid-air-collision.
