FC 6 Problem

[~Phenom~]

@ pathiks , I tried installing FC6 using virtual Boot loader ie through CD ISO images . FC6 installed successfully , but when i booted into it for the first time , just a blank black screen appeared and nothing happened. Should I now try to reinstall with Burning those images into DVD using the tut of this forum. Or it will be a waste of time and I should not think about it ????

[~Phenom~]

[Pathik]

[~Phenom~]

when I had that problem( around 1 month back) , I deleted my linux ( ie fc6) , I was not having edgy installed that time.
I cuurently just have XP SP2 ( which i use occassionally) and edgy.

hey i m not able to access my ext3 drive in wich i installed fc6 thru windows... IFS... why is it so??? i get a msg that the drive isnt formatted...

Do you have some tools installed to read ext3 from windows? Otherwise windows won't recognise the drive surely.

 

[Pathik]

Yaar i know that.. I hav IFS wich reads ext2 n ext3,. It used to read my drive wen ubuntu 6.10 was installed but not now..

Add me too in the list....

almost same config

P4 2.4 GHz
512 MB RAM
INTEL 845GVAD2

the problem here is Xserver crashes on the first boot.
I tried various tweaks on Xorg.conf file, it couldn't get through.

Log of xserver states "stolen BIOS memory" and at last gives error no video modes found.(I gave all possible modes that should work)

After lots of tries, ultimately i switched back FC5 , which is working fine with good graphics.(console is not a problem for me, but i love graphical interface).

So someone may know a lot about Xorg.conf file can help.

lol... welcome to the club...
btw i jus gave up on fc6 n m now using open suse10.2

post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log files, then somebody might be able to help.
Also, see

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep '(EE)' [code]
If it returns more than one line, post it here, those are the errors

And also try to run 
[code]system-config-display

see if it can set things straight.
