4.6.3-300.fc24

Comment 1 Andreas Tunek 2016-07-04 19:25:41 UTC
It might be some kind of grub problem. When I try to look at the boot records from that boot I get nothing.

Comment 2 Josh Boyer 2016-07-04 19:41:16 UTC
There is not enough information for us to even begin here.

Do you see anything on the screen when you boot?  If so, please take a picture of the failure state if you don't have logs.

Comment 3 Andreas Tunek 2016-07-04 19:55:04 UTC
All I get is a blank black screen.

Comment 4 Syed Amer Gilani 2016-07-04 19:56:53 UTC
I have the same problem. Unfortunately i can't provide more information. Because the Screen goes immediately to power saving mode. The HDD Led is not blinking so i don't think it is booting without a picture.
Booting 4.5.7-300 still works.

Comment 5 Andreas Tunek 2016-07-04 20:02:49 UTC
I tried updating both with "dnf update" and Gnome software. Same results from both (I manually removed the kernel in between).

Comment 6 Andreas Tunek 2016-07-04 21:19:19 UTC
There is more info here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-1c409313f4

I also have a ASUS Zenbook UX305CA

Comment 8 Josh Boyer 2016-07-04 22:19:28 UTC
Please remove 'rhgb' from your kernel command line and see if that helps.  Please attach the output of dmesg from a fresh boot of a working kernel.

dmesg from 4.5.5

Comment 10 Andreas Tunek 2016-07-05 08:05:37 UTC
No difference when removing rhgb quiet from boot menu.

Comment 11 Josh Boyer 2016-07-05 11:37:55 UTC
Please try adding 'nomodeset' and see if that gets you anything.

Also, please attach your grub.cfg file.

Comment 12 Syed Amer Gilani 2016-07-05 15:37:37 UTC
nomodeset does work for me. don't know if this is an aftereffect but xorg failes to set the correct resolution with this setting.
i have an nvidia gtx 970 gpu and everything worked with the 4.5 kernel
i attached my grub.cfg

Please don't clear the needinfo for other reporters.

Also, please file a separate bug for your issue unless you have exactly the same hardware as the original reporter.

Comment 15 Andreas Tunek 2016-07-06 12:35:34 UTC
Where can I find the grub.cfg file? I can't see it in the boot/grub2 directory.

It is in either:

/boot/grub/grub.cfg

or

/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg

This doesn't even list the 4.6.3 kernel.  Have you removed it?

Comment 19 Josh Boyer 2016-07-06 17:24:11 UTC
Can you also tell me which version of microcode_ctl you have installed?

Comment 20 Josh Boyer 2016-07-06 18:18:22 UTC
After more investigation, this may be a duplicate of bug 1353103.

Can you try booting the 4.6.3 kernel with 'dis_ucode_ldr' on the kernel command line?

Using dnf update

How do I do that?

I can boot with nomodeset, but it has the wrong resolution and it does not start gdm.

I can boot and type this using that code.

Comment 25 Andrei Maxim 2016-07-07 09:08:09 UTC
I can also replicate this bug with a Lenovo ThinkPad T460 (model number is 20FN003LRI if that is helpful for anyone). However, removing the 'rhgb quiet' option and using 'nomodeset' instead did not help.

The behaviour is that the screen goes black and the cursor, which is not blinking, appears. It's similar to the behaviour I see when booting the 4.5.5 kernel but using that kernel the textbox for the full-disk encryption password appears while with 4.6.3 it does not.

I do not know how to gather more information as I can't boot using that kernel but I'll gladly follow any instructions.
