Dear fellow testers,

I am running fedora 12 kernel (on this machine) since none of the rawhide kernels boot correctly:

The latest one 
kernel-2.6.32-0.56.rc8.git1.fc13.x86_64

does not improve upon the -48 or -51 variants :(

I try to boot into level 3 and the screen still becomes filled with color, and I cannot see anything.  I have to revert to fedora 12 kernel.  Is is a problem with the kernel, or with X, the other machines do boot new kernel one with nvidia using noveaux and the other with intel graphics.

If I should file a bug, should I file against kernel, or X. I am hesistant to do so, since the average life of a rawhide kernel is less than a few days :(  But that there is something wrong, I guess there is.  

Thanks,

Antonio
