</div>This got filed relatively recently and fixed up. For F9-based images,<br>
though, you'll have to do a workaround of removing<br>
the /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules.rpm* (or at least, move them<br>
out of the way)<br>

</div>That sounds like something more general and not live image specific.<br>
It'd be worth getting a ctrl-alt-delete in there to reboot and then boot<br>
into runlevel 3 so you could grab some logs to file against X</blockquote><div><br>I'll do that. I remember one of the errors I saw while it flashed by was something about AIGLX. <br>

</div>This is the case and unfortunately, with things currently in the kernel,<br>
I don't really see any way around it. Modulo writing some tool to<br>
(likely offline) analyze and rewrite the snapshot file. But relatively<br>
deep dark voodoo required to write such a tool<br>
