Hello All, I am trying to install Fedora 18 Beta x86+64 on my Dell XPS 15z, and would appreciate any help. I am running this laptop on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. This needs the following parameters on the 3.2.34 and later kernels to make the screen work: acpi_backlight=vendor dell_laptop.backlight=0 On earlier kernels, it was solved with; acpi=noirq The default installation does of Fedora `8 not work, it displays a noveau error message and hangs. nouveau 0000:01:00.0: 0xD581: i2c wr fail: -6 It went beyond this just once (not sure how/why), and failed with the following; no medium found on /dev/sr0 dracut: FAIL : Failed to mount block device of live image Questions --------- How do I get to edit the kernel parameters at install time, so that I can try the acpi switches ? Do I need to give additional kernel parameters for dracut to read the DVD ? Also, has any one successfully installed F18 on the Dell XPS 15z ? |
