<div dir="ltr">had that a couple of days ago. i think there was a kernel update that broke the NVIDIA kmod (if you are using it). you can try and login to a different, text console (after boot is done, hold ctrl+alt+F2 or F3) and run dmesg or cat /var/log/messages to look for specific errors.<br>
anyway, i would recommend setting few seconds pause on the kernel selection screen of grub and boot to a previous kernel.<br><br>Ehud<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Sep 19, 2010 at 10:29 AM, Darlene Wallach <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:freepalestin@dslextreme.com">freepalestin@dslextreme.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
I did "yum update". Now I only have a blank screen when I try to boot<br>
the laptop. Since I can't see anything I have no idea what is going<br>
on.<br>

I did the yum update yesterday. I thought I had rebooted successfully<br>
and left the laptop on with the power supply plugged in and the cover<br>
down. Now I only see a blank screen. I did a hard shutdown and when I<br>
try to boot, I only get a blank screen.<br>
<br>
I tried putting a Fedora 11 live CD and still only get a blank screen.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions?<br>
<br>
Thank you<br>
