Bug confirmed on MSI x470 Gaming Pro Carbon. I just picked up this board yesterday and as part of my standard ritual when installing new hardware, I updated to the latest bios/firmware and couldn't figure out why I was unable to install Fedora and why other distros would take a long time to shutdown. The board I just replaced this one with was still on the older 1.0.0.2c and had no issues. System config: MSI x470 Gaming Pro Carbon AMD 2700x Corsair RAM (CMK32GX4M2A2666C16) MSI Vega 64 card Samsung evo 960 and 840 ssd After seeing this Bug report I downgraded to the previous BIOS E7B78AMS.220 (7B78v22 on MSI’s site). I am now able to boot to the liveusb and install Fedora 28 Things I attempted, before finding this report: Installed Fedora 27 – it worked then upgraded to Fedora 28 resulting in a hang did not gather that info. Tried booting to Fedora 29 as well. It would not boot either but got a diffrent result just ignored is since it's still beta at this point I was convinced it was my hardware. Installed Debian 9.5 (kernel 4.9) and Ubuntu 18.04.1 (kernel 4.15.0_33), openSUSE 15 wouldn’t even provide any details just the splash screen. I also tried Manjaro it wouldn’t get past a tlp hang (I think this is related to the Vega video card I have) Searching for this "AGESA 1.0.0.4c linux" produces several post with othes having the same issus on other board and distros as well.
