Description Pascal Terjan 2015-04-21 01:46:27 CEST
It takes about 10 minutes to boot while traditional installer or installed system boot very fast.

Tested with Beta3 and RC, 1GB ram.

When using -vga std X fails with:

[   255.874] (II) LoadModule: "vesa"
[   255.945] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/vesa_drv.so

 for help.

With -vga cirrus, X can start and I could (very slowly) select the language/timezone/keyboard but then GNOME crashed with "Oh No. Something has gone wrong" after a few minutes of a waiting cursor.

Is this still valid with latest pre-final ISOs?
