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.
