I'll try and circle back around to file bug reports on this later.
In the meantime, F11 Beta on my ThinkPad T400 will not only not install, I can't get past what appears to be the first splash screen. This ThinkPad comes with both Intel and ATI (Radeon HD3400) graphics.
I have tried both the Radeon Test Day and the standard X86_64 ISOs booting them from a USB drive I created using the Live USB tool on F10. It makes no difference if I use the Radeon chip (aka Discreete Graphics) or the Intel chip (aka Integrated Graphics). In each case, F11 Beta boots to a blank, white screen with no visible text.
I'm trying to figure out how to interrupt the boot sequence and pass a kernel parameter to stop mode setting (nomodeset ???), but have been unsuccessful so far because, since the screen is always blank, I have no way of knowing what I'm looking at.
F10 runs just fine on this system. Ideas on how to get past this appreciated.
Cheers,
Chris

The first thing that comes to mind is syslinux. F11 on live-usb requires a new version of syslinux than that in F10.
From your your regular F10 install do
#yum --enablrepo=rawhide install syslinux
and then create a live-usb again as usual. We have had a number of people(myself included) who got around to booting successfully by using Rawhides' syslinux.

Interesting...! I just updated to the rawhide version of syslinux now. I'll give the rest of this a shot later today and then report back here.

And fwiw, this is already reported in bugzilla and I'm looking to see what we can do to not require people to upgrade their syslinux

Oh, sorry, I just reported it again following a discussion in the QA meeting - can you give me the number of the existing report so I can mark my bug as a dupe? Thanks.

OK - I tried this tonight with both the Radeon Test Day and standard 64-bit ISOs (Live images). Works like a champ now!

This page probably needs to be updated to include a note about syslinux.

I have updated the page about installing syslinux from Rawhide. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB#Check_livecd-t...
