Re: Fedora 34 does not install on laptop, screen freezes

[Javier Perez <pepebuho@xxxxxxxxx>]

It works with linuxmint 18.2.

I understand Linux Mint 18.2 uses kernel 4.4 and  18.3 uses kernel 4.10

Maybe some support for the GPU was dropped in between..

Hmmmm....this does indeed sound odd. Now I'm wondering if it's a video driver issue...

Hi.

Actually It is connected to an external display.

It was working with linuxmint 18.3

But given that it was End Of Life, I decided  to move it to F34 and then found out this problem.

Is there any way for you to connect an external display and then to try installing? (Just to eliminate the possibility of the graphics card being the issue) and then if it DOES install, then once you disconnect you should be ok. That's what I would do.

Cheers!

Hi

I have a very old Acer 3050 laptop

The graphics card is Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] RS482M [Mobility Radeon Xpress 200]

Initially it starts well , but after a few minutes the screen  freezes hard with a white wash

Installation does not complete.

How can I finish installation and troubleshoot this?

Is there a way to install command line?
