It still gave me the same result, blank screen. By the way, this is a
Compaq Presario 1500 laptop. Perhaps there is something particular to
laptop display setting? I was googling and found out that some people 
also had this kind of experience but that was a while ago during 
2.6.0-pre testing phases. I would hope that by now it should have been 
fixed but it wasn't the case for me. In the end, I decided to do full 
clean reinstall of Fedora instead of upgrading from existing RH9 
installation and that solved the problem. Perhaps others want to verify 
this or perhaps it was just my setting that was wrong somewhere.
