Installation completed but at first boot I completed the normal user definition and sent profile, but then instead of login window I get a window with message:

While writing /etc/sysconfig/desktop with DISPLAYMANAGER=KDE didn't work on first boot run session (even pressing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace). Setting it and rebooting the system lets kdm start. But the session is by default set to gnome (that I didn't select during install), and it seems I cannot select the "session type" option. At second attemp to click on it I get an X Windows System restart... the same trying to click on "Menu" option
At second click when X restrts: Oct 26 18:17:28 f16tc2 kdm[886]: X server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly Oct 26 18:17:28 f16tc2 kdm: :0[1609]: Fatal X server IO error: Interrupted system call Oct 26 18:17:28 f16tc2 abrt[1620]: saved core dump of pid 1604 (/usr/bin/Xorg) to /var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2011-10-26-18:17:28-1604 (3424256 bytes) Oct 26 18:17:28 f16tc2 abrtd: Directory 'ccpp-2011-10-26-18:17:28-1604' creation detected Oct 26 18:17:28 f16tc2 abrtd: DUP_OF_DIR: /var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2011-10-26-18:09:50-1212 Oct 26 18:17:28 f16tc2 abrtd: Dump directory is a duplicate of /var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2011-10-26-18:09:50-1212 Oct 26 18:17:28 f16tc2 abrtd: Deleting dump directory ccpp-2011-10-26-18:17:28-1604 (dup of ccpp-2011-10-26-18:09:50-1212), sending dbus signal
BTW: switching to a console window gives only garbage characters on all over the screen....
I ran into this on an earlier incarnation of F16 and had to install xdm as the display manager.
I would expect kdm if gnome desktop not selected and kdm selected. Looks like a bug.
