I've had to solve a couple of blockers using Live ISO images. For example, I had to change a BIOS display setting from [Hybrid] to [Discrete] to get a proper X screen after the GNOME display manager starts. There was also a bug in thinkpad-acpi that I had to report to the developers. I just booted the system using the Fedora-MATE_Compiz-Live-x86_64- Rawhide-20190217.n.0.iso image on a thumb drive. I was hoping that the latest 4.20 kernel might support the Intel RST. Running "mdadm --auto- detect -v" seemed to create a /dev/md0 block device, but "mdadm -- details /dev/md0" says it has no members. The problem still seems to be the Intel RST chip tightly bound to the NVMe SSDs. I can break the factory RAID1 by changing the BIOS Storage setting from [RST] to [AHCI], but I'm not ready to pull that grenade pin just yet. There must be a non-destructive path to accessing the native NVMe interfaces without having to resort to SATA emulation. --Doc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
