After upgrading from fc14 to fc16 using DVD iso,
I booted up after the upgrade, and tried to log in

Well, I got the blue screen but my desktop never
came up and a banner popped up
Oooops - something went wrong ... logout and try again.
I was never able to go beyond that no matter how many
times I retried.
Then I performed the updates.
After the updates, I rebooted.
Now I get no gnome welcome screen.
The screen stays blank, and the
disk activity light on the computer remains on,
until I press the Return key. After that the
disk activity light goes out, and screen remains blank.
PS: my graphics chip is the legacy Radeon Mobility 9600/M10
I tried to switch to any one of the vty's
(Control-Alt F2 or F3 or F4) to no avail. Nothing happens.
Any ideas what to look at and fix in single user mode?
Thanx,
JD
My prejudice would not to upgrade but to install F16 as a new
installation. There so many differences between F14 and F16 that I would
not trust an automatic upgrade to work.
But on the other hand some people do this and it works.
