    Kind helpers,

    I just upgraded to Fedora Core 2, Test 3 and then
    tried the nVidia
    installer using the --add-this-kernel, followed by
    *custom.run.
    Everything seemed to run to completion without error.
    But when I booted up to run level 5 (graphic mode), as
    soon
    as the optical mouse light lit, normally the time when
    I get the
    nVidia splash screen alerting the successful starting
    of X and the gdm,
    all I get is a black screen. The computer is hung at
    this point.
    Ctl-Alt-Backspace will not yield a text login prompt.
    Only a
    hardware reset will unfreeze the CPU.

    Looking in my /var/log/Xorg0.log tells me that:
    Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module.

    Any Fedora users having made it successfully to Test
    3, just released,
    please advise what I may have overlooked.

    All help appreciated.

    Doug
