Problem booting FC5 after good install and doing the "first boot" configuration

Hi all,

Have just read this thread as I am having exactly the same problem, however, my installation is 32bit and it's been working okay for a couple of weeks already.

All services load up okay, then the machine hangs when tries to start the X server.  From what I've read about the rhgb graphical booter, at that point it starts up the real X server on port :0 - up to that point it is running a temporary X server on :1.

The weird thing about this is that if I boot up without rhgb on the grub bootline, I can start X Windows fine from the shell (although I'm not sure how to start the full gnome desktop).

Does anyone know what gets run that's different from startx at this point?  I assume there's a nice config file or script somewhere that runs up the login screen, deskop, wm, etc.

Kind regards,

Kat .: .:
