I just upgraded my wife's laptop to F10 from F9 using preupgrade.
other than not having enough free space (had to make some) the install
went perfectly. Now I'm having a lockup issue.
When it first starts everything hard locks. Then I hear the DvD head
moving, some time later I can turn the caps lock on and off but there
is a significant delay. Also, the mouse cursor works but nothing else
does. I can't do Ctl-Alt-Backspace or get to any of the virtual
terminals. Scanning through /var/log/messages I don't see anything
useful. Any ideas on where to start? This thing was rock solid under
F9.
Compaq laptop Turion 64 1.8GHz w/ Radeon 200M chipset. 1GB system ram.
Broadcom wireless using native driver.
Thanks,

get this far... -- Gary
Actually I did end up trying something like that, so it is now fully
updated...
Here's a few conditions I've discovered:
When I log in it seems I have 10-25 minutes before it locks.
If I don't log (leave at login screen) in it does not lock up, but it
locks up almost immediately when I do log in.
It's seems to only be a GUI lock. I can SSH into the machine, however
top doesn't show any process using 100% cpu.
Any and all ideas are appreceated. This is actually the wife's laptop
which I recently converted to linux. She was a happy F9 user but when
my preupgrade upgrade went so well on my laptop I decided to upgrade
her's as well. Needless to say she's less than thrilled right now.
are asked to do so. My wife is still on FC7, and she is happy with it. She
is behind two levels of firewall, and her (seamonkey) browser is fully
updated, and mail goes through my corporate filters, not some ISP.
You might diddle the graphics settings on the boot line, video= and/or
xdriver= may help. Post video hardware and dmesg details here, hopefully
someone can offer useful hints.
Good luck!

Well so far today it has been working. BTW, is there a command line
way to get network manager to connect to wireless? I went to console
on boot up and was trying to get a connection without logging in (so
it wouldn't lock up) but couldn't find a way. I ending up logging in
and immediately going to a virtual terminal.
It's a Radeon 200M video chipset, Plymouth looks great BTW. I was
thinking of disabling selinux since I was getting AVC errors in the
system tray, something about updatedb trying to access .gconf2. I did
the restorecon -v thing it suggested but don't know if it's related to
the lockup issue.
Actually it just locked up when I was typing this message. Gmail saved
the draft and I'm finishing it from my laptop. Something interesting
to note. I used to fix most issues like this by doing a gdm-restart.
Now under F10 I'm getting "Operation not supported". I did a
gdm-safe-restart and then the lapop locked up fully (I lost my ssh
session and couldn't log back in.). The requested dmesg output to
follow. I've got it saved to a text file but have to get it off her
computer or post it before it locks up.
Thanks,
Richard

I had problems with a fglrx (radeon) driver and have an open ticket
which never went far. I went so far as to get a serial cable and
captured the logs from an alternate system - i forget the exact
message but it pointed to the driver. I then switch X drivers from
fglrx to radeon and no freezes. maybe boot to runlevel 3, switch
/etc/X11/xorg.conf from fglrx to radeon -- not sure it this is the
correct protocal for changing the X drive (please correct if wrong),
then start X (startx). Note that when I had this kind of problem I
could boot in runlevel 3 and startx with the original driver and it
wouldn't freeze -- strange. With the radeon driver it worked no
matter. -- gary
Note: this was on fc9, _note_ fc10, forgot to mention -- gary
Just in case someone was following this thread and not the one where I
found the workaround. All I did was add the nomodeset kernel option
which apparently turns off KMS, so no flicker free boot, however,
adding vga=318 as well still gets me the graphical Plymouth start-up.
