1) I lost fedora Fedora 11 partitions after trying to change size with gpart live CD: Therefor had to reinstall.
2)On four installation attempts Procedure on this page failed. (note virtualization was not installed)
Procedure on this page did work, after installing fedora native virtualization pack. It appears this procedure only works if virtualization is installed.

I had the same error as Jon (above). In my case what solved it was that I had a PAE kernel and needed the kernel-PAE-devel headers. I messed around with the stuff at FedoraForum’s Nvidia link but this was far clearer and (once I had that PAE package installed) right on target. Thanks!

thanks timm,

The suggestion in the link above works.

Remove any reference to Keyboard input devices in xorg.conf

This is my gf’s computer, mine got fried last night when lightning stroke in my house >:)

btw, should i care abt this error?to me it seems that system is running fine.
Maybe installing nvidia drivers from their website would make any differents?
Or is it some kind of bug or smth ?
