Hi,
I attempting to re-install Fedora 10 on my machine. I had this same problem when I initally installed it but I got someone to solve it for me. That is not an option this time so I will have to do it myself...
My graphics card is not supported at all by Fedora so I need to switch to vesa mode within the live disc. I have managed to get into init level 3. I had planned to run system-config-display but it was not installed and I could not connect to the Internet (don't know how...). So basically I need to find some way of switching to Vesa mode and then startx and install.
Thanks a mill
Conor

---- add this to kernel options... xdriver=vesa
i.e. something like this (edit /boot/grub/grub.conf for permanently passing if you choose)
title Fedora (2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686) root (hd0,2) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 rhgb quiet xdriver=vesa initrd /initrd-2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686.img
You probably could just type 'X --configure' but if you want system-config-display, you can still install it...
yum install system-config-display
