Hi all I am trying to install FC10 on a desktop machine. I can install in text mode, but I cannot get it to run X. I posted a query to this list a couple of days ago, but got no response. I found a thread in the Fedora Forum on the subject - http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=207320 I followed the advice of adding the following line to the "Device" section of xorg.conf - Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" It worked, and I thought the problem was solved. Then I found that if I switch from tty1 (graphical) to tty2 (text), then switch back again, the machine freezes and I have to press reset. I tried several times, and the same happened each time. I am guessing that the new Intel video driver is flakey, so I tried swapping hard drives with a similar machine running Windows Server 2000. Windows runs perfectly in the old machine, FC10 will not boot in the new machine. I get the following error message - Volume group "VolGroup00" not found Unable to access resume device (/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01) mount: error mounting /dev/root on /sysroot as ext3: No such file or directory I swapped hard drives back again to ensure it had not got corrupted, and it boots fine in the original machine. If I boot off the dvd and select Rescue Mode, it boots and says that it has loaded the installed system under /mnt/sysimage. I can see the contents of /mnt/sysimage, but I have no idea what, if anything, to change to enable it to boot up normally. If I just exit, it shuts downs cleanly, but I get the same error if I try to reboot off the hard drive. The HDD is a standard IDE drive with a standard IDE connector on the motherboard. For the record, the drive is a Seagate ST38410A, 8.4gb. The motherboard in the machine that was used to build FC10 is a Gigabyte GA-8LD533. The motherboard in the machine that fails to boot FC10 is a Gigabyte GA-851MLH. The spec of the IDE connector on the former is UltraDMA33/ATA66/ATA100. The spec on the latter is the same except it also has ATA133. I confess this does not mean anything to me, but it might mean something to someone reading this. Here is some more info, as suggested by someone on comp.os.linux.setup - 1. #fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 8619 MB 8619752960 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1047 cylinders Units = cyliinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x838ccac3 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 25 200781 83 Linux /dev/sda2 26 1048 8217247+ 8e Linux LVM 2. #cat /mnt/sysimage/etc/fstab /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 UUID=b6c62c5a-0afb-4258-a726-6a377a6f3b9e /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 If the worst comes to the worst I can re-install from scratch, but that does not fill me with confidence. Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
