Description Lars Loe 2025-04-15 17:00:03 UTC 
System info:
Ryzen 5800X3D
Nvidia RTX 4070
24GB RAM

- Used the latest F42 Workstation release *.iso to do a fresh install (full disk install, SSD, no dual boot)
- Everything boots up fine until the described issue occurs

- Since it's the initial setup I'm unable to log into any user account from tty console or view logs, take a screenshot etc.

- mounting the journalctl directory from a working Linux installation using `journalctl -D $PATH` shows that it's possibly a nouveau driver issue:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot into initial-setup after a fresh Fedora 42 Workstation installation
2. Proceed until time zone setup screen & press `Next`
Actual Results:
The initial setup window freezes instantly on clicking the button - the Gnome interface still works (e.g. top right menu)

Expected Results:
Initial setup should proceed normally

Additional Information:
Comment 1 Lars Loe 2025-04-15 17:02:24 UTC 
Used *.iso version: Fedora-Workstation-Live-42-1.1.x86_64.iso
Comment 2 Lars Loe 2025-04-15 17:52:54 UTC 
According to https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/nouveau/-/issues/382 - disabling the gsp blob using `nouveau.config=NvGspRm=0`could work to work around the issue. 

If this really is the issue, I'm aware that `initial-setup` / Fedora is not at fault here. 

That said, if this is an issue other users can confirm, it might be worth to disable the gsp blob for nouveau by default for new Fedora installs so that they can at least fully boot into Gnome & install updates or proprietary Nvidia drivers.
Comment 3 Lars Loe 2025-04-24 15:22:27 UTC 
For visibility - another bug report describing the same issue:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2361117
Comment 4 Martin Kolman 2025-04-29 12:02:08 UTC 
So if this happens after you install from the Workstation media & reboot, then what runs is actually the GNOME Initial Setup - yes, its confusing. :)

Hi fellows, i want to chip in.

 i got the same issue on Fedora Silverblue 43 running on my Lenovo X1 Extreme Gen5 with RTX3080:

I Tried booting with 'nouveau.config=NvGspRm=0' but it doesn't work for me - the results are the very same, but the Kernel log is quite a bit different:
