Description of problem: I have an ibm t40p that is running fedora 24. I have a known good dvd that I used to install fedora 25 today on other hardware. When I put the dvd in the ibm t40p, and boot from it, there is no video output of any kind. No graphics, no text. I suspect the problem is related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1391473 which is that this computer hangs with a 4.8 kernel. I am currently running 4.7.5-200.fc24.i686 #1 SMP on the machine successfully. The install media is Fedora-MATE_Compiz-Live-i386-25-1.3.iso Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 25 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. put in dvd 2. boot 3. Actual results: computer hangs Expected results: successful install of fedora 25 Additional info:
Wrong component. kernel is likely the best
*********** MASS BUG UPDATE ************** We apologize for the inconvenience. There is 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 25 kernel bugs. Fedora 25 has now been rebased to 4.9.3-200.fc25. 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 26, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 26. If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.
It is difficult to rebase, as I cannot successfully boot the fedora 25 install disk. Is there an updated install disk with the rebased kernel available?
Yes, the Live images should get rebuilt with newer kernels
For F25 you want the live-respins: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/live-respins/ They update with kernel updates. :)
That is nice, unfortunately all of those images are x86-64, and my hardware is not 64 bit hardware. Kindly make 32 bit iso images available, so I can test it. I checked yesterday, and fedora 24 had not rebased to the 4.9 kernel, so I could not test that way.
Sadly the respins folks don't do 32bit media. ;( You could try a rawhide image, or I see the f24 update just went stable today, so you could use a f24 install and update there?
