Ok. Meant to add a little more about the hardware involved, but forgot to in the original report. Dell C840 laptop Nvidia Geforce4 440 go (NV17) video 2GB RAM 250GB hard drive with Fedora 13 and Windows XP installed. And as I stated, just let me know what is needed to help locate the problem and I will do what I can to provide it.
Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please add drm.debug=0x04 to the kernel command line, restart computer, and attach * your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available), * X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) * output of the dmesg command, and * system log (/var/log/messages) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link above. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Created attachment 499742 [details] dmesg output wiht drm.debug=0x04 on kernel line

There was no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. This was the plain unmodified RC3 livecd (32 bit i686)
(In reply to comment #0) > Description of problem: no boot to the gnome shell with the livecd RC3 Just to be sure, where we are with this ... did you do anything special to get into (failling) gnome-shell? Didn't the system automatically suggested fallback non-3D system? Just to be sure, it doesn't looks like we caught this one. What happens if you add nomodeset to the kernel command line?
No fallback mode, No Gnome 3 shell. No GDM screen. Just displays the background and then hangs. Adding nomosedet to the kernel line allows it to bring up Gnome in fallback mode and seems to work ok. I just tried it, and tested for a few minutes, running a few applications but haven't really used it to see if it is going to have problems.
And just to clarify. This bug would still be in the F15 release LiveCD. I grabbed the RC3 CD but nothing was changed as far as this goes for the release version.

This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. 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
