FC4-i386, latest updates.

When I upgrade my kernel and reboot, the system attempts to runsystem-config-display during startup, and this prompts for the rootpassword. I type that in but it's apparently not recognized, as I just getanother prompt. After 3 failures, the system boots normally. I think thishappening during the udev initialization.


I'm using the latest nVidia driver for my 6800GT.
