I have an older Fedora 40 machine that I tried to install Fedora 41 on,
and got a surprise.
For a first attempt, I tried the as-documented dnf system-upgrade steps
on a fully working and stock Fedora 40. Upon reboot to actually do the
install steps, a black screen is presented and everything had to stop.
For a second attempt, I elected to blow the Fedora-40 system away, and
reinstall from iso. The blackscreen was presented again, but this time
there was also a mouse pointer visible. Once again, there is no means
of upgrading available.
This particular 2008 Dell machine has a vesa video card, and I am
assuming that there is a new problem with the drivers in Fedora 41.
Is this a known problem, and is there going to be a fix before release?
Or is Fedora now dropping support for older machines?
