Proposed as a Blocker for 40-final by Fedora user geraldosimiao using the blocker tracking app because: As described on the criteria https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_40_Final_Release_Criteria#basic-graphics-mode
Same problem with workstation image -> Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-40_Beta-1.7.iso On the same hardware
> 3.choose boot first drive or boot second drive You shouldn't boot from a hard drive. You should select "Start Fedora-KDE-Live 40_Beta in basic graphics mode", from the Troubleshooting menu. Do you not see it there?
Actually, from comment 1, I see that the menu item *is* present, as the first one. Have you tried it?

Yeah, I tried it, I choosed "Start Fedora-KDE-Live 40_Beta in basic graphics mode" and tried both options it shows to me. I tried too with manualy adding "nomodeset" to the linux commandline and it doesn't boot
Created attachment 2022342 [details] it is basic graphics mode I tested both first and second drive, and both didn't boot.
I can do a screencast to show it
Also proposing as a Beta FE.
I tested both BIOS and UEFI with both KDE and Workstation (Beta 1.7), it works just fine on my B550 AM4 board.
Sorry folks, I redo the tests on both KDE and Worstation, as Kamil showed me and now basic graphics mode works fine. Was my fault chooseing wrong line att boot.
