Comment 3 Palm Pre 2011-04-29 03:57:41 CEST 
Of course, beta2 dual CD includes 2.6.38.4 kernel and installation doesn't boot.
Comment 4 Palm Pre 2011-05-12 02:16:28 CEST 
A few kernel updates didn't help much. The last screen is different but X doesn't start anyway.
Comment 5 Dave Hodgins 2011-05-12 02:41:11 CEST 
Try pressing alt+ctrl+f7, and alt+ctrl+f12 to see if there is more info.

could you try to (re)install radeon-firmware ?
the firmware seems not to be available regarding the first picture.

Comment 7 Palm Pre 2011-05-12 03:19:06 CEST 
I'm loggin to 2.6.38.3 kernel and X works fine. 

I have slightly different error messages with kernel updates. 

I'll try alt+ctrl+f7, and alt+ctrl+f12 later.
Comment 8 Palm Pre 2011-05-12 03:52:48 CEST 
Pressing alt+ctrl+f7 and alt+ctrl+f12 doesn't change anything. Still the same black screen.

When I filed this bug after final screen message I had monitor "No signa" message. Now I had just a black screen. 

I'm gonna post a few latest pictures. Just in case.

Comment 13 Palm Pre 2011-05-19 02:11:45 CEST 
I can login intu GUI after default dual CD installation (rc1, kernel 2.6.38.6-desktop-1.mga). 

The instalation gives me all the messages (attacments one, two and 2.1) but instead of going to 'three'  it starts GDM. 

I'll install fgrlx later.
Comment 14 Palm Pre 2011-05-19 04:03:51 CEST 
I installed x11-driver-video-fglrx (fglrx-8.850-1.mga1.src.rpm). Immediately after installation, logout/login gives the same error as in attachment 'three'. 

After rebooting, it just works.

This is a duplicate of bug 1471.

(Have a look at bug 1471 comment 2 for a workaround).
