Description Osama Albahrani 2023-10-21 03:19:57 UTC
Created attachment 1994915 [details]
Screenshot of "Booting a command list"

Description of problem:

Selecting an option in the GRUB menu of the live media gives a black screen on MacBookPro14,1.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Fedora-Rawhide-20231018.n.0.iso

How reproducible:

Very. I tried >5 times and tried both with and without testing the media.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download Fedora-Rawhide-20231018.n.0.iso (from https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/nightlies.html)
2. Burn the iso into a flash drive (using Fedora Media Writer)
3. Select one of the first two GRUB options

Actual results:

Without modifying the grub command: black screen (lasts over an hour)
Removing "rhgb quit": Stuck with "Booting a command list" and a frozen cursor under it.

Expected results:

Booting normally (as with 38/39).

Additional info:

This was first mentioned in https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/J2ZZ5PYSMWSIA5F5R5LFWESPDHQ4EVE2/

Comment 1 Kamil Páral 2023-10-23 10:15:47 UTC
Proposing as a final blocker for F40 due to:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_39_Final_Release_Criteria#macOS_dual_boot

This is a regression from F39.

Comment 2 Osama Albahrani 2023-11-03 13:29:47 UTC
I am now able to dualboot macOS and Rawhide by upgrading from F39 as of two days ago. So I will try the next good nightly build of Workstation live ISO.

Some system information that might be relevant:

That's good news! Can you please try with https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/rawhide/Fedora-Rawhide-20240212.n.0/compose/Workstation/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-Rawhide-20240212.n.0.iso ? don't worry about it not being marked 'last known good', the failures that decide that are not relevant to this bug (they're just some failures of application tests).

Comment 4 Geoffrey Marr 2024-02-13 16:21:42 UTC
Discussed during the 2024-02-12 blocker review meeting: [0]

The decision to delay the classification of this as a blocker bug was made as it seems this may be resolved already, we will delay the decision while we wait for confirmation from the reporter.

Comment 5 Aoife Moloney 2024-02-15 23:00:11 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 40 development cycle.
Changing version to 40.

I might have a chance to try this weekend. Catching up with schoolwork :)

Let me know if by then I should test a newer iso.

Comment 7 Osama Albahrani 2024-02-21 06:01:07 UTC
Ok, I didn’t mean to remove the needinfo. Putting it back.

Comment 8 Adam Williamson 2024-02-21 07:56:55 UTC
They get garbage collected after a bit, so if it's not there by the time you come to try, just try the latest from https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/nightlies.html . Again, don't worry if it's not marked 'last known good' unless there are really a ton of failures (you can see the failed tests by mousing over the link to the image).

Comment 9 Osama Albahrani 2024-03-02 04:48:39 UTC
I was able to successfully boot into the latest nightly Rawhide iso.

And, as a force of habit:
