Description of problem: The graphical installer doesn't start (falling back to text mode) apparently due to failure in initializing the graphic card. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: I haven't tried to install the whole system, just giving a look, so i can't say if tha ATI kms Xorg driver fails as well once installed.
Please attach the logs from /tmp/*log
Sorry for the late answer, but i've been busy. Is there any method to catch the log files you're asking for, *without* installing the whole system? You know, i need my computer for my job and i cannot afford having my pc without X. If i can't install F15 i should reinstall F14, wasting thus a lot of time. Is there any way to try X without installing F15? I suppose the issue has something to do with X rather then kernel modules because the installer is falling back in text mode, not even VESA. Thank You
You can try the livecd for F15 You can grab the logs any time after it fails to start X, there is no need to do a complete install. Switch to tty2, which has a shell on it, and then scp the files over to a system where you can attach them to this bug.

Switch to tty2, Either by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F2 or (if this doesn't work) via ssh from another computer. > which has a shell on it, and then scp > the files over to a system where you can attach them to this bug. Or store them to USB flash disc.
Ok. I'll download a liveCD and give it a try.
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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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
