I upgraded from RH8.x to FC1 and ran into similiar problems. I do
boot into init 3 at this is my prefered method.
I would change back to init 3 and then ensure that "startx" will run
properly first. You will have to configure your X. Are you running
FC1 or FC2? Each uses a different X server.
My advice would be to backup your data and then do a clean install.
After a year, I am still finding and removing the odd problem related
to the RH8 install. I also believe that going from FC1 to FC2, it was
recommended that a clean install be done. I will say that the clean
install of FC1 at home works better than the upgrade at work.
Others?
