Hi All;



I have an IBM Thinkpad with an Nvidia card ( nVidia Corporation
GT218 [NVS 3100M] (rev a2) )



I currently have the nouveau driver black listed in my grub.conf
setup: ** rhgb quiet nouveau.modeset=0 rdblacklist=nouveau



I did the update which installed/updated the following:



---> Package kernel.i686 0:2.6.35.14-95.fc14 set to be
installed***************

---> Package kernel-devel.i686 0:2.6.35.14-95.fc14 set to be
installed*********

---> Package kernel-headers.i686 0:2.6.35.14-95.fc14 set to be
updated*********

---> Package kmod-nvidia.i686 1:280.13-2.fc14 set to be updated



However when I reboot the system boots to a blank screen, and even
the previous kernel boots to a blank screen.

I tried installing akmod-nvidia but get the same results



I've restored the system back to before the update for now...



Thoughts?



Thanks in advance

I can't help much, but if you look at my thread from earlier
today
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2011-August/403344.html
you'll see that I have a very similar problem.

I am just creating an account on the rpmfusion bugzilla list to report
this as a bug (have to go out now so will do it later tonight...).

Regards

Mark

I've got boot issues in F14 and F15 preupgrade.

I haven't had a boot issue in Linux for years !

How did you roll back the update ?

Thanks !

I have a couple of rsync scripts. I run the rsync_backup.sh before I
apply ANY updates no matter how trivial. Then I can always run
rsync_restore.sh to roll back. The only downside is that I have to have
space in /stage/backup to hold a copy of most of my system (the parts I
back up), however I have (2) 750GB drives in my laptop and /stage is the
full second drive so it works out pretty well. Anything I don't plan on
backing up I stage on the /stage drive - I have a number of VM's that I
do not back up in /stage/virtualmachines. This has saved me from having
a down / disabled system many many times...


Here's the scripts:

$ cat rsync_backup.sh

#!/bin/bash

for I in `cat dirlist`
do
echo "[$I]"
echo "=========="
rsync -avXA --delete /${I} /stage/backup
done



$ cat rsync_restore.sh

#!/bin/bash

for I in `cat dirlist2`
do
echo "[$I]"
echo "=========="
rsync -avXA --delete /stage/backup/${I} /
done



and here's my dirlist files (note that I backup /home but in the list
used for restore I don't bother to restore it, however it's nice to have
that option):

$ cat dirlist

bin
boot
cgroup
etc
home
lib
lost+found
misc
opt
root
sbin
selinux
srv
tmp
usr
var



$ cat dirlist2

bin
boot
etc
lib
lost+found
misc
net
opt
root
sbin
selinux
srv
tmp
usr
var

Hi All;



I still cannot apply the latest kernel & nvidia package. Has
anyone resolved this?



Thanks in advance

I got two of my computers with this problem to boot by removing all kmod-nvidia and akmod-nvidia files and also removing (renaming) /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

This causes the machines to boot with the nouveau driver, which works for me, for now.


I'll tackle the issue again when I have more time.
