Thanks for testing! I need to install F16 myself aswell..
I used VESA mode with the Fedora 16 Live CD. Modesetting with Radeon didn't work. Live CD install first crashed, but didn't crash at 2nd try. After reboot, I switched into another VT, because initial "welcome, add users" didn't show up. I turned off gpg checks from /etc/yum.repos.d: GPG keys for Fedora 16 were missing under /etc/pki/...: bad soft links.
I turned off Rawhide repository. I upgraded Fedora 16 from the command line. Then reboot.
After that Fedora 16 "welcome, add users" started up graphically: works as it should. I could go back to modesetting from VESA by moving /etc/X11/xorg.conf away and changing /etc/default/grub's Kernel parameters: remove nomodeset. grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg will rebuild grub2 configurations.
Then basic Fedora 16 works.
