Hi,

after several days of testing upgrading Fedora 19 to fedora 20, i face 
the same issue.

whatever Virtual machine i use (Virtualbox or VMware Workstation) the 
result is always the same... after upgrading the virtual machine turns 
into a black/blank screen and nothing can be done.

it doesn't machine if i install or not virtualbox tools (or vmware 
toold) it's the same results.
Here are the basic features of my virtual machine

  * 1 CPU / 2cores,
  * 4GB RAM
  * 128MB Video


to reproduce the issue:
1. launch VMWare Workstation 10 and install Fedora 19 x64 from DVD iso
2. as root, do a yum update to be sure fedora 19 is up to date
3. do a yum install fedup (to get latest version of fedup)
4. do a snapshot for fallback in case of...be sure you will need it
5. do a fedup --network 20
6. reboot after upgrade
7. ==> after booting via grub2, your virtual machine with turn into a 
blank screen :(

the same issue with VirtualBox.
after that i tried yum install fedora-release fedora-update but i get 
the same result.

So anybody has an idea what is the problem ?

thx.

Al.
