Greatings,
I am running Fedora Core 3 T1 with Kernel 2.6.8-1.541, I have a nVidia 5200 video card, and am using NVIDIA-linux-x86-1.0-6111 drivers, I did reinstsall the drivers for the new kernel as always, and my xorg.conf as also been edited as needed for teh new driver.
however ever since I updated to 2.6.8-1.541 I have been having an odd problem booting, If I try to boot at run level 5 (GUI) it cannot find the screens and errors out. if I run init 3, reinstall the drivers, then run init 5 I can run and log in as always. it seems like somethings gets lost during reboot or shut down, and I cannot figure out what. This error did not happen before .541
All I get from the log file is that no screens were found. Anyone else having this problem?
Thank you.

I believe I'm seeing this too, but my system is at home so I can't retest immediately.
My theory is that the NVIDIA installation script is writing something into /dev which is no longer persistent across boots. I'm fairly sure it was a recent udev change that introduced the bug, not kernel-2.6.8-1.541.
