Description Barry Scott 2025-03-20 10:31:05 UTC

I setup a new VM to test KDE 42 ISO - Fedora-KDE-Desktop-Live-42_Beta-1.4.aarch64.iso (checksum verified).

When the VM starts up I see the Grub menu.

Choosing either the install or test media and install options both fail to find "/dev/disk/by-lable/Fedora-KDE-Live-42" and drop into emergency mode after 198 seconds.

ls /dev/disk shows no by-label folder.

The same VM booted from Fedora-KDE-Live-aarch64-41-1.4.iso boot up as expected to the KDE live desktop.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create VM in macOS version of Parallels.
2. Use Fedora-KDE-Desktop-Live-42_Beta-1.4.aarch64.iso as the cdrom image
3. Start VM
Actual Results:  
VM fails to start KDE live desktop
drops to emergency shell.

Expected Results:  
Boot to KDE live desktop.

I can mount the Fedora-KDE-Desktop-Live-42_Beta-1.4.aarch64.iso ISO under my existing KDE 41 VM.

Does it work with this nightly? https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/branched/Fedora-42-20250330.n.0/compose/KDE/aarch64/iso/Fedora-KDE-Desktop-Live-42-20250330.n.0.aarch64.iso

Comment 3 Barry Scott 2025-04-12 07:56:14 UTC

I can succesfuly install using Fedora-KDE-Desktop-Live-42-20250330.n.0.aarch64.iso in parallels.

Great to have this fixed.
