I attempted to boot from
/pub/alt/nightly-composes/kde/kde-i386-20100506.01.iso
which uses kernel vmlinuz-2.6.33.3-79.fc13.i686 but it fails.
This is the machine from bug #557447
Even after I edit kernel command line to remove rhgb and quiet and add
radeon.modeset=0 3
text mode boot begins then Fails displaying
Loading vmlinuz0.....................isolinux: Disk error 80, AX= 4280, drive 9F
Boot failed: press a key to retry...
Bugzilla notified me today that Bug #577215 had been resolved so I
downloaded and tested the gnome desktop build too.
desktop-i386-20100506.01.iso textual boot as above proceeded normally.
However when I type startx I see vertical stripes down both screens ,
with the cursor icon able to scroll between them, but no progress
after the gray outline for the login box appears.
Unfortunately networking seems to be broken as well and no IP address
is set so I was not able to ssh onto this machine.
