Trying to do a fresh install of rawhide on the i686 testbox I have, its a total non-starter.
Using a Radeon QD 7200 requires nomodeset so that's on the command line, but it seemed to be ignored and the screen went to it's "rainbow" abstract pattern. Adding vga=ask or similar makes it get into the boot process. Adding xdriver=vesa makes no difference.
Since I'm coming from a local mirror, I add askmethod to the command line, but it never gets that far. Just a black screen forever (where forever >= 5 minutes)
I'll try enabling the rawhide repo and updating from F11 next.

I tried yesterday update to rawhide thru preupgrade on PC with Radeon 9200 and the result is the same. Anaconda won't start - after network setup in text mode, just a blank sceen.
After update using yum Xorg wont start.
