Hi All!
I have tried installing FC5 x64 on my Turion 64 laptop. FC5 successfully installs without any problems. It then goes for the first initial startup and everything works fine. It then asks for you to finish setting up the laptop by entering a user in, testing the sound, etc. Well, after you finish that, the laptop goes to a black screen and is non-responsive. I was unable to do anything. I tried seeing if it was just the video by pressing CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE and even tried going to another terminal by pressing CTRL-ALT-F1 thru F7. Nothing. Is there something more that I need to be doing?
Thanks!

Boot to init 3 (console only) and test further.

I tried it in runlevel 3 and it works. The only problem seems to exist with the initial init 5 login screen. It freezes the entire laptop before it gets there. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
