Description Andres Garcia 2021-09-02 11:03:19 UTC

Description of problem:

This is a duplicate of bug 1902519, which is closed, the kernel can't get a good video mode from the graphic card together with a monitor with more resolution than the card can provide.

Fortunately, the work around provided by Alberto Abrao worked and I could use the installer adding 'vga=795' on boot.

Before finding that bug report I also tried to install CentOS Stream and, again, no video.

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


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to install F34 server with a MGA G200e graphic card and a 1920x1080 monitor
2.
3.

Actual results:

No video

Expected results:

I can now see that it is easier to go to "Troubleshooting" and install in basic graphics mode, but then the system won't have video on boot

Comment 2 Vendula Poncova 2021-09-06 10:13:07 UTC

Reassigning to kernel.

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 34 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 34 on 2022-06-07.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '34'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 34 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 4 Andres Garcia 2022-05-17 10:07:25 UTC

I tried installing Fedora 36 server and now the video works fine, both in Anaconda and once the system is installed.

Comment 5 Ben Cotton 2022-06-07 22:45:16 UTC

Fedora Linux 34 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2022-06-07.

Fedora Linux 34 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
