If you are familiar with linux, you might try booting into a command line screen (VGA) and avoiding the X-window system until you solve your setup issues.

I just installed FC2 on a Compaq (Optiquest monitor) and everything went fine, it seemed, until I was prompted to reboot. After "udev" and "Initializing hardware" it opened up a GUI and I saw an hourglass for just a few seconds. After that, my computer froze with a bizarre color pattern: vertical stripes of random color and width. This happens every time I try to boot. Any idea?
I'm very new to this--my apologies if this is redundant; I couldn't locate anything in the fedora-list archive.
Thanks in advance, Neeraj
