Created attachment 1926130 [details] screen shot extracted from video of boot process 1. Please describe the problem: Doesn't seem to harm anything, but random chunks of apparent binary nonsense are spewed on the screen when booting without rhgb and quiet in the kernel options. 2. What is the Version-Release number of the kernel: 6.0.8-300.fc37.x86_64 3. Did it work previously in Fedora? If so, what kernel version did the issue *first* appear? Old kernels are available for download at https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 : Does not happen on fedora 36, this is new with fedora 37, might not even be a kernel problem, but kernel was my best guess. 4. Can you reproduce this issue? If so, please provide the steps to reproduce the issue below: Install fedora 37, remove rhgb and quiet from boot options, watch screen 5. Does this problem occur with the latest Rawhide kernel? To install the Rawhide kernel, run ``sudo dnf install fedora-repos-rawhide`` followed by ``sudo dnf update --enablerepo=rawhide kernel``: didn't test 6. Are you running any modules that not shipped with directly Fedora's kernel?: no 7. Please attach the kernel logs. You can get the complete kernel log for a boot with ``journalctl --no-hostname -k > dmesg.txt``. If the issue occurred on a previous boot, use the journalctl ``-b`` flag. The actual logs are normal, no gibberish in them. I'm attaching a screen shot from a video I made while booting.
Just tried booting the workstation iso image, and the gibberish shows up there, so it isn't anything I broke by customizing things or changing settings. Perhaps it is something specific with my hardware. I've got an nvidia card: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM206 [GeForce GTX 960] (rev a1) the motherboard is a Gigabyte Z390 AORUS ULTRA
Created attachment 1926200 [details] journalctl --no-hostname -k > f37-dmesg.txt I ran this journalctl command immediately after booting from the fedora 37 workstation live image. This does appear to be something unique to this machine, I booted the same live image on a little AMD mini-pc and it does not display any gibberish during boot.
I just got the kernel update for 6.0.9-300.fc37.x86_64 and when I booted I didn't notice any random gibberish on the screen. Maybe this is fixed?
