Hi all;
I've updated to the latest kernel and it boots to a blank screen, nvidia does
not start.
Here's what I have installed:
[/root]
root@Issac # rpm -qa | grep kernel | sort

f I boot into the 2.6.31.12 kernel all is fine.
Any help, advice, thoughts?
Thanks in advance

As a general rule, I would reccomend removing 'rhgb' and 'quiet' from your
kernel parameters in grub.conf. This will show more info during boot, and possibly aid in
diagnostics.
I'm following this thread with interest after giving up on my own battle with the same
issue. After adjusting grub.conf as above, I did note that I could boot further if I added
'vga=34A' ('34a' being what was right for me) to the kernel parameters,
but I'm not sure what this signifies.
I'm able to run this kernel without kmod-nv idia, so I've decided to use nouveau
drivers until the next update.
Sorry I can't offer more help...
Pete

not sure what this means, are you referring to the kmod-nvidia packages? If so
I do have 'em installed - see my listing above.
Am I missing something else? I still boot to a blank screen.

Do not wipe and reinstall!
If you can boot to runlevel 3, you can get out. Here's what I did:
Boot to working older kernel, runlevel 1 or 3 if needed.
'rpm -q kernel' will list the installed kernel packages, note the newest kernel.
'yum remove kernel-2.6.whatever.from.above' will remove that kernel and associated
kmod and x drivers.
'yum update' will reinstall the newer kernel for you, but without the video
drivers.
From there, you can boot to the newest kernel, figure a workaround (nouveau for me) or try
the kmod-nvidia process again if you think you missed something.
Thanks again to those that helped me with this, if any happen to be reading.
Pete

I could. I did try booting previous kernels from the list at boot, but it
provides the same black screen.
I did try many other things listed here to no avail. I do not wish to reload
as I will loose some programs and libs I compiled for a project. I am not sure
booting to RL3 will help as I have tried many solutions from command line
also.
I usually use another Linux flavor, but used FC12 as I was working on a
project with another person, kinda bummed this happened. I guess I may have to
start from scratch if I do not find a sloution soon.
Mike.
Is there no way to get those custom libs off ?
I know I had to completely wipe my machine and I had 4 tbit to loose
Tell me I was not choked?
It was exactly the same thing
Black screen and no way to recover.
Just remember Install fc12
Add remove software select your Nvidia driver
The new kernel will install with the Nvidia
Blacklist Nouveau in grub.config
Lower selinux defense so the driver will load
Reboot and enjoy

I did not install any special drivers for my video card as other had done,
this is a plain install, no frills, so I am at a loss as to what happened. I
could see trouble if I had a video driver loaded that had to be recompiled
with each new kernel. This was thrown together to make a couple programs and
libs and since I am at a loss to know where all the pgms and libs got stuffed
it seems easier to just reload, maybe another flavor of linux would be better
suited for what I need.

software??
I have been following this because I too have a system doing this and wish to
recover it.
Either boot a live cd or hold a key down while you boot to get to the
previous kernel to get your machine back.
When I did it I had NO choice but to wipe out the system, reinstall
Fedora 12 do not update but install the driver for Nvidia through the
Add remove software.
It will install kernel and kernel mod through the driver install.
Then update your system after you get the new kernel working with the
Nvidia driver
Add remove software and search Nvidia install driver and it will find
kernel.
This is the only way I could get the system working
Or through yum using akmod nvidia not kmod
Do it through add remove software it is easier

This doesn't make sense. Yum is the backend for all gui package

not sure what this means, are you referring to the kmod-nvidia packages? If so
I do have 'em installed - see my listing above.
Am I missing something else? I still boot to a blank screen.
Thanks in advance

When this kernel came out there was many people with the same problem
and it was the kmod
akmod would be a better choice
What if you can't boot to older kernel as I could not.
the Add remove worked on the first try.
Allow the Nvidia to install the kernel and kmod

If you can boot to runlevel 3, you can get out. Here's what I did:
Boot to working older kernel, runlevel 1 or 3 if needed.
'rpm -q kernel' will list the installed kernel packages, note the newest kernel.
'yum remove kernel-2.6.whatever.from.above' will remove that kernel and
associated kmod and x drivers.
'yum update' will reinstall the newer kernel for you, but without the video
drivers.

or try the kmod-nvidia process again if you think you missed something.
Thanks again to those that helped me with this, if any happen to be reading.

Is there no way to get those custom libs off ?
I know I had to completely wipe my machine and I had 4 tbit to loose
Tell me I was not choked?
It was exactly the same thing
Black screen and no way to recover.
Just remember Install fc12
Add remove software select your Nvidia driver
The new kernel will install with the Nvidia
Blacklist Nouveau in grub.config
Lower selinux defense so the driver will load
Reboot and enjoy

9:17 p.m.
Here is how I got the latest update in with 190.53 nvidia driver
Install the driver from add remove software not yum
It will find the extention for kernel mod and install kernel
Do not reboot
edit the grub.conf like below and make sure nouveau is blacklisted on
all kernel lines after quiet
lower protection from selinux
setsebool -P allow_execstack on
reboot
without the driver there is no cuda with nvidia gpu
you may have to uninstall kernel if you have made the attempt already then just re install
the driver, it will install
new kernel and kernel mods

As a general rule, I would reccomend removing 'rhgb' and
'quiet' from your
kernel parameters in grub.conf. This will show more info during boot, and
possibly aid in diagnostics.
I'm following this thread with interest after giving up on my own battle
with the same issue. After adjusting grub.conf as above, I did note that I
could boot further if I added 'vga=34A' ('34a' being what was right for
me) to the kernel parameters, but I'm not sure what this signifies.
I'm able to run this kernel without kmod-nv idia, so I've decided to use
nouveau drivers until the next update.
Thanks for the info. I'll be sure to post a SOLVED message to the list if I
get it working...
Sorry I can't offer more help...
Pete
