Well, one install I did - first boot never ran, and every boot after resulted in XServer trying to start partway down (I don't use rhgb) and I'd see a "failed" message on the screen, followed by X11 starting perfectly for GDM. About a week later, during one of the boots, the first boot setup thing ran - that usually runs after a clean install. The failed attempt at starting X11 never appeared again after that. That's an interesting case - because I've done several other installs on a test partition of the SAME hardware and had everything work perfectly. I'm happy with fc3. Only thing I don't like is that the ide cd burning isn't (imho) as good as with the ide-scsi module from 2.4 kernel days - in that it won't let me md5sum /dev/cdrom without an I/O error occuring :( But I can boot with hdc=ide-scsi and do just that :)
