| ----
| |
| I upgraded my Fedora 11 installed in VirtualBox 3.0.10 today to Fedora 12 Constantine from the DVD ISO.
| |
| After final reboot I found that I get progress bar at the bottom when the Fedora 12 boots up, but then I get a black screen with only a cursor at the top left corner and nothing.
| |
|
| |
| Solutions was simple:<br />
| |
| <ol>
| |
| <li>Clicked in VBox window.
| |
| <li>Alt-2
| |
| <li>Logged in as root.
| |
| <li>Checked <code>/var/log/Xorg.0.log</code>
| |
| <li>Found that <code>vboxvideo</code> module failed to load and screen was not found.
| |
| <li>Mounted <code>/dev/sr0</code> in <code>/media/VBOXADDITIONS_3.0.10_54097</code>
| |
| <li>Run <code>./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run</code>
| |
| <li><code>shutdown -r now</code>
| |
| </ol>
| |
|
| |
| System booted this time properly nicely displaying gdm login screen.<br />
| |
| Once logged, update utility reported 119 updates ready to install already. It's Wed Nov 18 00:43:22 GMT 2009 ;)<br />
| |
| <code>$ cat /etc/fedora-release</code> returned <code>Fedora release 12 (Constantine)</code><br />
| |
| Hope this will help someone.<br />
