<div>I second what Jim says. I've had a lot of trouble booting from the boot helper with Blueberry. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Bernie looked at this at the GPA and found a bug in Fedora related to video drivers. Bernie, was this bug reported? Can you help David see if he is having the same problem we saw at GPA?</div>
