I've tried with "plymouth.enable=0", the screen is everytime black and the mouse pointer after few second freeze like the system. I've attached photo with the screen before modify kernel command line
The Kernel 3.7.2-204 starts fine when i add "RDBLACKLIST=NOUVEAU" at the kernel command line, but so the graphics it's no good.
Another little step: today i try with "plymouth.enable=0" in command line and go directly in shell with ctrl-f3, then i'm logging and type "startx"... the system work and i still write with kernel 3.7.3-204!!! now i've to know why the system stop between boot and gnome... anyway i attach the output of dmesg ! grep nouveau of working 3.6 and actual semi-working 3.7

I am experiencing the same problem on Fedora 17. Kernel 3.6.11 works without any problem, no crashes at all. After upgrading to 3.7.6 the problem started. I waited for the next kernel release, hoping the problem would be solved, but yesterday I installed 3.7.9 and the problem is still there. With the 3.7 kernels, startup works fine, login screen appears, I can login and start applications but after 1 or 2 minutes the screen messes up and I have to do a power off reboot. Screen looks like the picture sent by Livio.
Is this still an issue with 3.8 kernels?
(In reply to comment #11) > Is this still an issue with 3.8 kernels? Did not try the 3.8 kernels yet, since they did not appear in the yum updates. Anyway, since the problem was having a negative impact on my work I decided to go for the propietary NVIDIA driver (I have an Nvidia Geforce6 video card), and this one works fine with all of the different kernels. System is now up and running for several days without interruption.
