You did search this list's archive?

You offer too less information to say something specific. Was that a
fresh FC1 installation with no updates installed so far? You did use
which mirror server? Do not update all packages in one step but only a
fair couple at once. Update XFree86 better in non X mode, running in
runlevel 3 ("init 3") and using "up2date-nox -u XFree86".
