Problems after yum update with fedora 18

[SteveMD]

Hello
The short story is:
I took an apple machine and replaced its OS with Fedora 18. This worked well. Then I did a "$> yum install update" and now, the machine will not work with any monitor. When I boot the system up, I get the start up environment (background) as usual, but then the screen goes black with strange error: " radeon 0000:02:0:Invalid Rom content system[1]:Job multipathd.service/start deleted to bread in g cycle starting with basic./start"

I can access the machine's hard drive from another computer (ssh).


I can keep the machine from loading the OS, and get into GRUB> in the terminal, but I cannot access the USB to "re-install" fedora 18 which is all I am attempting to do..

Does anyone know how I can re-install fedora 18 (newer version would not install)

Hi ryanvade
Sorry about that....Listed below is the "cpuinfo"...of course there are 0-7 processors.. I sshd over to the machine from another one to get this info. and I also attempted to locate a USB that I inserted on the machine. I could not locate it under /media or /run/media. I did a $> find / -name ( name of the usb) and it could not locate it..
I hope this below helps..

I need more about the whole system not just the cpu. Mainly the grahics card.

Is this a server?

Thanks again for your response. No. It is not a server.

The Graphics information is:

02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV630 [Radeon HD 2600XT] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: Apple Inc. Device 00a6
Physical Slot: 1
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 52
Memory at 80000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
Memory at 90c20000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
I/O ports at 2000
Expansion ROM at 90c00000 [disabled] [size=128K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: radeon


I uploaded everything. See the attachment.

I am now thinking that I have a corrupted video driver (?maybe?)..and am trying to figure out how to download and reinstall it using yum..I have to do this of course, remotely from an other computer...
