While waiting for a more functional Anaconda I have been
running 64 bit F18 with yum updates.
The Noveau driver still crashes. Fortunately Nvidia still installs.
I am able to run SCO Openserver 5.0.7 under the virtual machine.
Select i686, pcnet, and 4.4bsd.
Audacity puts its data in the root segment by default. This eventually
overflows the small root FS generated by Anaconda.

Hmm, I wonder if they've made changes in upstream nouveau. I'm running
rawhide and have not experienced any crashes of nouveau
(although I have other issues with nouveau, just not crashing) and *can't* get the
nvidia driver to install (either from rpmfusion
or from nvidia directly; it doesn't build from the akmod, there is no kmod package for
my kernel, and the nvidia .run file won't
build (I've sent a request to nvidia for help after doing some debugging)). It
appears that the nvidia builder script doesn't take
into account include files that have been moved to uapi and/or generated/uapi (why must
something that's working be messed with all
of the time?).

I am using NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-304.60.run
1. Change "rhgb quiet" to "nomodeset" in the active grub.cfg entry
2. Reboot
3. init 3
4. sh NV*
As I keyboard this, I am running Xfce with composting on.
Random screensavers are enabled. WSPR is running with
one sound card and a real serial port. Lady Heather is
running under Wine using a USB serial port to talk to
a Trimble Thunderbolt. Ham Radio Deluxe's rotator control
under Wine interrogates a rotator 1/sec using the other
USB serial port. Audacity has been recording sound
using the motherboard sound device for 21 hours.
I have also been playing with SCO Openserver 5.0.7 under
the virtual machine manager. Also have been using
VNC, Firefox to talk to the world. The system has not crashed
using the Nvidia driver. Knock on wood.

Which kernel are you running? I can't get 304.60 to build on
3.7.0-0.rc2.git1.2.fc19.x86_64 (rawhide). It can't figure out the
kernel version so it won't even try to build.

I think between 3.6 and 3.7 there was a change of where some of the kernel source
include files are held (from
/usr/src/kernels/`uname -r`/include to /usr/src/kernels/`uname -r`/include/uapi and
/usr/src/kernels/`uname
-r`/include/generated/uapi) that is screwing up building of the nvidia drivers (for
example, in 3.7, the version.h file found under
include/linux is empty and has been moved to include//generated/uapi/linux but the
nvidia-installer sript run by the .run script
doesn't find that version (either at all or early enough to be able to use it).

Chuck is running F18, may be what's different.
