Description of problem: With new kernel I can no longer admin locally the "headless" server. It has very old CRT monitor which gets out of sync if "nomodeset" is not used. Recent kernel has started to ignore "nomodeset". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FAIL: kernel-3.9.2-200.fc18.x86_64 PASS: kernel-3.8.11-200.fc18.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: Boot it. Actual results: It starts booting OK but before it asks for LUKS password the screen gets out of sync. Expected results: One can see the display for the whole OS run.

What graphics adapter? If it's something radeon drives, this is probably a duplicate of 924507
