When I boot Fedora 16, Fedora 17 or RHEL 6.3 (all x64) installer dvd, I get the following: - I boot the burned DVDR in UEFI mode. - I get the GRUB menu, I choose the default entry to install the Fedora/RHEL distro. - I get messages about loading VMLINUZ, allocating memory pages for Linux-EFI, etc. - The display gets cleared (or the resolution changes) and screen goes black/blank, there's only a cursor blinking. - Nothing happens after this, the boot is stuck, and I have to reset the system. So I can't install any Fedora/RHEL Linux in UEFI mode. Installing in legacy BIOS mode works OK. I've tried enabling serial console etc to get *some* output to figure out what's happening with the UEFI boot but I haven't been successful yet in getting any output from the kernel.. so I'm not sure if the Linux kernel gets booted/started or not. -- Pasi -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
