I've recently upgraded my F6 to F8. The install finished ok but when
the computer boots it gets to the boot loader, finishes and starts
booting up the kernel and then when it gets to the point where it show
the type I for Interactive boot and just after it starts the udev
service, the screen goes blank and never returns. There was no
indication during the setup that there was a problem with the video
card (I installed using the graphical installer by the way).
I'm a bit stumped because I can't really even look at any logs files
or anything because the screen goes blank before it finishes booting
up to Gnome. I tried maybe secure shelling in but that doesn't work
either because maybe ssh service might not be turned on by default or
something, not sure. I don't even know if the system finishes starting
other services or finishes other booting-up procedures because the
screen just goes pitch black just when the os starts turning on
services. I'm attempting to reinstall i rescue mode now but don't know
if this will help resolve the issue. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

This sounds typical of people trying to upgrade an older Fedora with
F8. There have been several bug reports filed and there is a real
problem with F8.
