I know this has been covered in several posts, but i can't find info on where to insert the nomodeset parameter...
Background:
I've begun the fc 12 upgrade (running fc11 right now) and after getting past the out of space /boot partition message, the system finished downloading the preupgrade stuff and rebooted. the display never came up - just the out of range message from my screen.
I'm able to get back into fc11 via the grub boot menu (I have a dual boot setup) but I get the same out of range situation when I boot into the upgrade.
From what I've read I think I need to add nomodeset as a kernel parameter, but I don't know where to add it!
Do I add it to the upgrade line in grub.conf?? If so, where in the line does it go?
grub.conf (just first two sections)
default=1
timeout=30
splashimage=(hd1,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
#hiddenmenu
