    Before updating the system I disabled the nvidia by switching xorg.conf
    to the version installed by anaconda FC2, using the nv driver.

    If I press <ctrl>C the system is booting a little bit further, but
    serveral programs complain about the file system /var/lock... to be
    read-only. Wondering about that.

    Thanks
