Fedora 14 boots to blank screen after latest updates (nvidia?)

[kkempter]

Hi All;

I've posted this to the fedora mailing list with no response, my apologies if it's been addressed here...

I have an IBM Thinkpad with an Nvidia card ( nVidia Corporation GT218 [NVS 3100M] (rev a2) )

I currently have the nouveau driver black listed in my grub.conf setup: rhgb quiet nouveau.modeset=0 rdblacklist=nouveau

I did the update which installed/updated the following:

---> Package kernel.i686 0:2.6.35.14-95.fc14 set to be installed
---> Package kernel-devel.i686 0:2.6.35.14-95.fc14 set to be installed
---> Package kernel-headers.i686 0:2.6.35.14-95.fc14 set to be updated
---> Package kmod-nvidia.i686 1:280.13-2.fc14 set to be updated

However when I reboot the system boots to a blank screen, and even the previous kernel boots to a blank screen.
I tried installing akmod-nvidia but get the same results

I've restored the system back to before the update for now...


Thoughts?

Thanks in advance

I had the same Problem. After the latest updates ... also NVidia ... the Xorg did not start anymore.

What I did:
. Boot into runlevel 3 ... at the GRUP on startup press 'a' and then 'a' again to add a '3' at the end of the line. Looks like '... ro root=LABEL=/ acpi=on rhgb quiet 3'
. Reinstall the old working NVidia drivers 'yum install akmod-nvidia* xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686' (mybe you need to update the rpm source as shown here -> Install Nvidia Drivers on Fedora 13 and 14
. Fix xorg.conf with 'su -c 'nvidia-xconfig''

This worked for me. The new NVdia drivers are shown at the update messages again but I will cancel them this time
