When I boot F14 and I reach the GDM screeen there is simply no field
to enter the user ID and no user list, apparently it doesn't detect
the keyboard. This happens both with an USB keyboard and with a PS/2
one.
If I force a restart of GDM either through CTRl-ALT-BS or through a
telinit 3, telinit 5 on a non-graphiacl console then then new GDM
works as it is supposed to do.
My guess is that Dracut starts GDM before the keyboard and that is
why X doesn't detect it and GDM doesn't work.

Jean:
I don't think that dracut is the problem. I have two separate Fedora
installations. The first runs Fedora 14 64 bit and has not had any
problems booting. The second, running Fusion 14 RC 32 bit, exhibits the
identical behavior you have described. Both use the same version
of dracut: 006.3..fc14.
Thanks for the ctrl-alt-backspace workaround. Awkward, but it works.
