I used the preupgrade method to update Fedora 13 to Fedora 14. During the boot process the little bar gets to the right side of the screen, then stops. Doing a ctrl-backspace-F3 I can login as root in the console, and poke around at logs, etc. When I try startx, it gets just so far and gives some error messages. Opening the Xorg.0.log file, down near the end, I find the following:

I had guest additions installed in F13, now it seems like something about the video drivers don't match, and I don't know how to go about fixing it. Any ideas?

Reinstall the GA. F14 ships a new Xorg version and the current GA version does not support it. You must run VB 3.2.10 at least.

Bingo. I had tried that previously, but couldn't get to the GA iso. It appeared in /media/GuestAdditions.....iso, but when I did a cd into that folder it was empty. And I didn't figure out how to get it mounted. This time I was able to get it mounted by using /dev/sr0, and that let me get into it. After that I got the GA reinstalled, and now it works. Many thanks!
