I just got a Radeon 4850 graphics card for my F8 system, and I ran
into this infinite-boot-loop problem.
(I'm running kernel 2.6.25.10-47.fc8.)
Oddly, I can work around the problem by booting first in single-user
mode, then exiting to run-level 5.
It also worked when I first installed the proprietary ATI driver
(version 8.501, downloaded just yesterday) by logging out (and not
rebooting).
Attempts to build for specific distributions (I tried Fedora/F9,
Fedora/F8, Fedora/FC6) all failed with the following message:
error: %changelog entries must start with *

I tried downgrading the fglrx drivers on the problem
x86_64 fedora 8 box by installing the source rpm for
fglrx-kmod-8.476-1.8.04.lvn8.src.rpm and building the
kmod-fglrx packages against the current kernel
(2.6.24.5-85.fc8). While the fglrx 8.476 drivers worked
fine against the 2.6.24.4-64 kernel (which I can no
longer find to download), the current kernel still
has the black screen and reboots against these
drivers. Does anyone know if an archive for the older
fedora kernel updates so I can regress back to the
2.6.24.4-64 kernel until this issue is fixed?
