If I am reading the X.org logs correctly, I am using nv and not nouveau.
That's possible, but can you post the relevant logs to confirm it?
I was referring to the xorg log of the running f11 system. The display config dialog box also said that I am using nv so I trust it.
That's a bad idea. system-config-display does not tell you what X.org auto-configuration would do. It has its own, quite different, configuration logic, and it gives you the result of that. what s-c-d says is not necessarily either a) what you're currently actually using or b) what X server would auto-detect.
Besides, when I deliberately switched to nouveau with the display dialog and tried to reset x, x got into a permanent retry loop.
Maybe nouveau is not supporting my device.
That's probably it. There is a small set of cards that are known not to work with nouveau which we blacklist to use nv instead. Yours may be one of these. The output of 'lspci -nn' would help me confirm that.
So it could be that the install is trying to use a nouveau driver and this is causing my hang.
Um. Not really. This blacklisting is done in the X server's auto-detection code, which the installer uses just like a regular desktop does.
How do I verify?
Please provide the output I asked you for.
