Kind helpers, I just upgraded to Fedora Core 2, Test 3 and then tried the nVidia installer using the --add-this-kernel, followed by *custom.run. Everything seemed to run to completion without error. But when I booted up to run level 5 (graphic mode), as soon as the optical mouse light lit, normally the time when I get the nVidia splash screen alerting the successful starting of X and the gdm, all I get is a black screen. The computer is hung at this point. Ctl-Alt-Backspace will not yield a text login prompt. Only a hardware reset will unfreeze the CPU. Looking in my /var/log/Xorg0.log tells me that: Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module. Any Fedora users having made it successfully to Test 3, just released, please advise what I may have overlooked. All help appreciated. Doug P.S.
