    Fedora 12 booting issue

    Okay so I installed fedora 12 last night, everything was fine. Installed some things, moved music over, etc. (Dual booting with windows vista btw) So I install my graphics card driver, (ATI Radeon HD 3200) and I reboot. When I open the bootloader (I think thats what it is), It starts to boot, then just has a black screen with the flashing underscore. I can type and stuff but nothing happens.. Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Press Alt+Ctr+F3 at blank screen. Does it switch to command line prompt?

    Have you tried to boot up Linux Single User Mode?

    It does open the command prompt. Although, it asks me for a login and password. I enter mine, to no avail. Ill try the single user mode. I may just reinstall. Thanks for the help!

    Okay,then login using single user mode and check the /var/log/messages file for any errors.

    In case you haven't re-installed yet, login at command line mode and execute startx command. Post error message here, if any.
