Comment 1 Jacek Piskozub 2013-02-24 23:22:32 UTC
Same story here with an Asus Eee 1000H and Fedora 17. I have black screen with the two latest 3.7.* kernels released for Fedora 17. 

The two problem ones are:
kernel-3.7.6-102.fc17.i686
kernel-3.7.9-101.fc17.i686

The last working one is:
kernel-3.7.3-101.fc17.i686

Comment 2 Josh Boyer 2013-04-01 20:38:39 UTC
The nouveau driver isn't even being loaded.  Is this still happening with 3.8.x?

Comment 3 Jacek Piskozub 2013-04-01 21:23:09 UTC
WFM as for now. It works even with the two kernels I had problems with.

A pity I can't state which package update made the trick. It was something released within two weeks (maybe even 10 days) after February 24. 

My intelligent guess: pixman-0.28.0-1.fc17 

But it's only a guess.

Display appears with 
Fedora-Live-LXDE-i686-19-Beta-TC3-1.iso

But I still have a backtrace in dmesg output

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2013-12-21 10:18:55 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '18'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be 
able to fix it before Fedora 18 is 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  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

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.

dmesg output

This is ocurring in kernel-3.13.0-0.rc8.git2.1.fc21.i686, in the dmesg output, starting around line 916.
Got it by booting Fedora-Live-Jam-KDE-i686-rawhide-20140116.iso, Troubleshooting, Start with basic graphics, using TAB to change modeset to modeset=2, and removing quiet, threadirqs and rhgb.

Comment 8 Fedora End Of Life 2014-02-05 14:42:02 UTC
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
