[YLUG] Update fedora 10

[mike cloaked]

Well the OP did not say exactly how the X session hangs - does it not
start at all or does it start? Is it the boot graphic that does not
work (Plymouth)? or does it boot and give a login prompt?  Can you
boot to a VT and then issue the startx command to initiate the X
session? Does it begin to start the Xsession after entering the login
prompt?  Does the Xsession give anything at all to the screen. What is
in the log files after this happens.  Can you switch to a VT and check
the contents of the Xorg log files as root?

To diagnose this you need more information. Also with Plymouth on some
ATI cards having known problems does adding nomodeset to the kernel
line at boot make it work?
