Description of problem: Occasionally, mode switch on this system won't succeed on boot. The screen remains completely black, there is no disk activity and no key can bring anything back. The only fix is to power cycle the system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.x86_64 (and others) How reproducible: Sometimes. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the system. Actual results: Sometimes mode switch fails, leaving the system with black screen and hung. Expected results: Should work.

So, I'm opening a new one.
Please try 2.6.34.3-37 from updates-testing.
OK, shall do. Although, I've seen this even with vanilla 2.6.35.
Haven't seen this particular thing for a while now, but because it is intermittent, I won't rule it out completely yet. I'm on 2.6.34.6-54.fc13.x86_64 right now.
Just seen this with kernel-2.6.35.12-88.fc14.x86_64. Moving to F-14.
Haven't seen this in a while with F-15. Closing.
