Hi,
After install everything seemed to work, ran up2date, downloaded 432 packages. Many hours later back to the same problems... so is there anyone here who has updated to everything in the rawhide, whose distro boots?
Yep. Here. Went from a RH8 box to FC2 in one jump, then FC2 to FC3t1 in one jump. Other than having to pratt about with the X server for a very small amount of time (basically, just changing where /dev/mouse and one other thing pointed to get it to work), it was seemless.
I'm beginning to think this test stuff is way beyond me.
Only use the test stuff if you're prepared for things not to work, to work but not correctly or at the very worst to annoy the b'jes out of you due to a fault in another package. To use the tests, you should be able to work out what has gone wrong, diagnose it and report it for fixing. Okay, no-one is expecting people to be experts in all fields, but I certainly wouldn't recommend it for a main system [1]

I had a similar problem, however selected an older kernel and was able to boot up fine.
It sounded as if the screen could not start due to X crashing, I'm assuming it is related to a driver problem.
Try an older kernel.
