I did too, but I am still getting the same problem !

Should I directly move to fedora 12 ?

I also do not understand why I cannot enter in interactive mode by
pressing "I" as mentionned during the booting process.

In fact some times I am able to boot by pressing i even if I cannot
control the starting of the services. I boot in text mode but when
I make a startx and it just freezes. I have to switch off the computer !!
There is not file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf

I am not sure that I should keep process in updating before
all these problems have been solved
