Installed ~cjb/rawhide-xo 20090510.img with 'copy-nand' onto an XO-1
system. Booted. Boot process went normally up to the point where X
would be used to draw the background and the "user logon" screen.
Instead, the contents of the text console were repeatedly shown,
blanked, shown, blanked, etc. - as the system repeatedly tried to
start X, but failed. Eventually, the boot process stalled at that
point.
By switching to another text console, I was able to log in and
examine the contents of memory. The only thing of interest was many
many copies (to all intents and purposed identical) of Xorg._.log in
/var/log . Copied the most recent of those, and put it into
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=500086 , which I created
for that purpose.
