Description of problem:

I have tried to install Fedora 24 on my laptop but it stopped loading the live booting proccess after line "User ID 1000". So, I have downloaded Fedora 25 Alpha release which booted OK as live system. I have started the installation proccess but it freezed when creating "filesystem ext4" in Anaconda installer. The parameters I've used where "Custom partitioning" - "Create partitions automatically" using LVM.

So, I booted again in Troubleshooting mode (screen resolution was by default 400x300 instead of 1920x1080), in this mode I was able to install Fedora 25 on my system, but I remained blocked on 400x300 resolution. If I want to change the resolution I get "Unknown monitor".

The images I used were of Fedora 24 and 25 Workstation Live 64bit - GNOME Desktop, both on a USB device created with Fedora Disk Writer (bootable image).

I tried to install Fedora 25 Beta, same issues as before.
However, in Fedora 25 Beta Release I got some alerts that the kernel has been tainted (flags:GL) and they cannot be reported. And also an alert from xorg about crashing and restarting (only when I tried installing with 1920x1080 resolution).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Installation of Fedora 25 Beta on a ASUS GL752VW computer
2.
3.

Actual results:
It installed on 400x300 resolution

Expected results:
Normal workstation environment 1920x1080 resolution

Additional info:

System hardware: ASUS GL752VW laptop with GTX 960M - 4096MB GPU and Intel HD Graphics 530, 16 GB RAM, Intel i7-6700HQ CPU, 1SDD - 128GB, 1 HDD - 1TB. I have installed the system on HDD not on the SSD.

Solved with Fedora 25 by removing the "rhgb" option from the boot menu
