Description leblondthi 2019-12-03 21:04:41 UTC
1. Please describe the problem:
5.3 kernels dont  work if boot legacy option roms is not enable in the bios. Before enable this option  i must disable TPM (PTT on Dell laptop ) in the bios security option.with kernel 5.2 and older not have to do this tip.
2. What is the Version-Release number of the kernel:5.3 kernels


3. Did it work previously in Fedora? If so, what kernel version did the issue
   *first* appear?  Old kernels are available for download at
   https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 :5.2


4. Can you reproduce this issue? If so, please provide the steps to reproduce
   the issue below:


5. Does this problem occur with the latest Rawhide kernel? To install the
   Rawhide kernel, run ``sudo dnf install fedora-repos-rawhide`` followed by
   ``sudo dnf update --enablerepo=rawhide kernel``:


6. Are you running any modules that not shipped with directly Fedora's kernel?:


7. Please attach the kernel logs. You can get the complete kernel log
   for a boot with ``journalctl --no-hostname -k > dmesg.txt``. If the
   issue occurred on a previous boot, use the journalctl ``-b`` flag.

*********** MASS BUG UPDATE **************

We apologize for the inconvenience.  There are a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale.  Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 30 kernel bugs.

Fedora 30 has now been rebased to 5.5.7-100.fc30.  Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel.

If you have moved on to Fedora 31, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 31.

If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.

Are you sure this is resolved for you ? Perhaps you still have PTT disabled in your BIOS?

It looks like this is a duplicate of bug 1779611 and other people are reporting that bug as still being an issue. Either way let me mark this as a duplicate.
