August 31 Installs

The 64 bit netinst install panicked and locked up with default video
or basic video.
The Live desktop Gnome 3 install to disk installed with basic
storage devices, which had flummoxed Verne in the past.
Acceleration seems to work with an Nvidia gt460se. There
might be some hope for Gnome 3 if remote admin is not a
requirement.
System admin needs to be brought to the level of quality last seen
in Fedora 14.
I couldn't get a printer to configure, so had to boot something else
to get some work done.

Oh no! Something has gone wrong.
by Michael Schwendt
Never have seen this with F15. Only have read about it.
Now it's hitting me badly everytime I boot F16 Alpha. Sometimes the
second login attempt succeeds, sometimes it doesn't and needs
a third attempt.
gnome-shell-3.1.4-1.fc16.x86_64
Where do I search for meaningful error messages?
Attached .xession-errors is flooded.
[...]
Updating the machine hasn't been easy and hasn't fixed the problem
either. Evolution dep breakage required me to update wildcard-groups of
packages or else I couldn't get xorg\* and other updates. Applying
the xorg\* updates required a reboot as a simple logout/login resulted
in severe screen corruption.
[...]
During the boot process (this is ATI Radeon graphics hardware), I often
lose the display and get a black screen with my monitor losing signal.
This has never happened with F14 and older, and only rarely with F15.
A workaround is to disable rhgb.
