I did not, and I have no other card to swap in. I have a pci only
mobo and any extra video cards I had were agp.
I admit that I didn't do too much to try and solve the problem
either. This is problem was actually on my home brew pvr box (myth tv
specifically) and my wife was getting pissy that it was down. I just
did what was needed to get it back up and running and I now have to
give myself a slap in the head everytime I think about doing updates.
I'm hoping that submitting my bug to the fedora bugzilla DB will get
them to fix it, but I'm not sure how keen I'll be at trying out the
fix when they do. When I was submitting this bug, I noticed some
other Radeon specific bugs that have cropped up lately. Hopefully
they are all related and someone is actually looking at them.

Hi All,
Unfortunately, I joined the list after Kevin Kempter made a similar
post about this problem just this morning so I couldn't respond to
his posting.
That being said.....
I have the EXACT same problem as Kevin. However, I struggled with
this issue a bit over the past few days and have discovered a bit
more.
When I update everything, I get into the state like Kevin. My screen
goes blank, in fact it goes into sleep mode. I can ssh into the
machine and everything seems to work fine there, but when I do a
shutdown / reboot, it never does. I think it gets hung trying to
shutdown a service or something.
Once I'm in this state, I can boot the machine using the FC4
shipping
kernel (2.6.11....) and everything works again. (Kevin, you may want
to try this if you don't need an up to date kernel). However, this
didn't work for me because I needed a more current kernel for my tv-
tuner card.
If I upgrade my kernel to the latest (2.6.13...), but do not upgrade
anything else, my machine works fine.
So, it must be a combination of kernel + something else. I admit i
didn't spend too much time trying to figure out what the "something"
else was. I'm assuming it was something like the xorg stuff or maybe
something in KDE.
Kevin, are you running KDE? if not, maybe we could rule that out.
How about hardware?
I have a vanilla PC.
Intel GLLY MoBo, but have the on board video disabled.
ATI Radeon 7000, PCI
512 MB ram
2.2 GHz Celeron

Noel;
I swapped out the video card and it works fine. The problem was
with the ATI video card (I had the same one)
Kevin and Noel - I have the same problem with an ATI Radeon 7500
card. Did you come up with any resolution other than swaping the
card out?
