Most likely and unbeknown to you you were using the US keyboard when
you installed Severn. It happens to me when I ask for install in
American and later for a french keyboard. The keyboard is changed
for the text console but not for the anaconda GUI then so when I
type the password at install time I get a "foobQr" when what I typed
was "foobAr". Solution is easy: do an install in the canadian
language. :-)

I have now re-installed the Severn beta *twice*. What has happened
is
that after installing the latest updates from rawhide (to 06 Sep. 03), I
cannot re-login. The GDM would complain that either an incorrect
user ID or password was entered... however, I have *carefully*
rechecked that I had entered the corredt PWD (since I even had it
*written* down, and my user id name is just 3 letters long.
Even attempting to login as root, I still could not login. I got the
usual error message ( ... verify that your Caps lock isn't on,
etc...)
On my _most recent_ install (today, 07 Sep.), I made it a point
NOT to download and update to gdm-2.4.4.0-2.i386.rpm.
Has anyone else noticed this behavoir with this version of gdm?
