I am having a lot of problems with a system after upgrading it from F10 to F11. I need help to get this formerly-stable system back. Basically X is messed up and I can't do yum updates. This is my second post on this issue. Any help would be most appreciated. Background: On Saturday, I updated my son's Fedora 10 x86_64 system to Fedora 11 using preupgrade. All seemed to go well until it tried to start X on the first boot. Upon starting X, I saw a white dash in the upper left and X never properly started. I rebooted into single user mode, set run level to 3 and booted. Now if I start X using startx, I lose my keyboard and mouse. The task bar shows a lot of applications starting. As I have no keyboard nor mouse, all I can do is hit the power button and shutdown. I have not tried ssh'ing to the box. Note that after pressing the power button, several errors were displayed including Nautilus having issues with Hal. I tried using yum to update the box hoping this might fix something, especially with the nvidia driver. However, YUM is broken. It is failing with an error about file /var/cache/yum/updates/metalink.xml missing. System is a Gateway AMD 9500 quad core Keyboard is PS/2. Mouse is USB. Display is Nvidia 8600 GT PCI card. Any help would be most appreciated as he really wants his computer fixed.
