Description of problem: When booting Fedora 17 from a 3.5.x kernel video stops working after early boot kernel output. Working fine with 3.4.x kernels Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.5.x How reproducible: With 3.5.x kernel on this hardware: always With 3.4.x kernel on same hardware: never Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot Fedora 17 (selected from grub2) 2. wait until display gets blank Actual results: After selecting the 3.5.x kernel from grub2, the screen goes blank. Then the Kernel prints some early boot messages (in 640x480 pixels or so) as expected. After some seconds and more output the screen goes blank and powers off (energy saving mode). Expected results: After the screen goes blank it should display the output again with full display resolution (the part where plymouth should take over). Then the HDD encryption prompt (luks for LVM2) should be displayed. After that it should boot to GDM. This is the exact behaviour you can see with 3.3.x and 3.4.x kernels. Additional info: 1. If typing in the HDD encryption password blindly Fedora continues booting without any further problems but still with a blank screen. I can switch to TTYs and run commands, create files, use pipes to save e.g. dmesg, …. 2. Some basic hardware information: CPU: Intel Core i5 650 with iGPU (in use) Mainboard: Asus P7H55-M/USB3 Monitor: Some BenQ via HDMI, 1920x1080 resolution 3. Removing terminal_output=gfxterm does not fix this bug. 4. This bug may or may not be related to ID 852826 or 845388 Do you need more info?

When booting the 3.5.3 kernel with the same setup but the monitor connected with VGA cable instead of HDMI cable, it boots as expected (as it does with 3.4.x kernels).

Seems to be fixed with the latest plymouth update to 0.8.5.0.2012.04.27.4.fc17 for recent 3.6.x kernels. Can anyone confirm that?
Since no one could confirm this bug and it does not occur any more I close it. Feel free to re-open it if you can confirm it.
