For the first time, Fedora will boot on my Dell laptop: Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-Rawhide-20200101.n.0.iso The kernel identifies the machine thus: DMI: Dell Inc. XPS 13 7390 2-in-1/06CDVY, BIOS 1.1.3 11/10/2019 and Dell identifies it with Service Tag 8NMBZY2. CPU info: vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 126 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1065G7 CPU @ 1.30GHz stepping : 5 microcode : 0x46 I had to change the BIOS SATA configuration from RAID to ACPI in order to boot Fedora. This caused the delivered Windows system to fail, but it was successfully restored by Dell's recovery utility download. The built-in wifi device is recognized: iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: Detected Killer(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX1650i 160MHz Wireless Network Adapter (201NGW), REV=0x338 but is not operational. This is a bit peculiar.. The device uses an Intel AX201 chip, and Intel has good history with linux support. This log entry probably indicates the problem: kernel: iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-Qu-b0-hr-b0-52.ucode failed with error -2 I stuck a small USB wireless adapter in the machine, and this works fine until support for the internal adapter is ready. The only other problem observed (it is still early) is the machine will not reboot or power down. Power off must be forced by pressing the power button for 10-15 seconds. The only clue I have about this was a message that says a watchdog timer will not stop, but this may be a symptom rather than a cause, or not related at all. Windows also has some problems on this machine, but that is not germane to this list. I observed no problems with Ubuntu - wifi worked perfectly, and no problems with power-off/reboot. I could not reboot from Windows to start Fedora Workstation Live using the EFI boot menu invoked by F12. The menu appeared with the USB flash drive listed, but clicking that item did nothing. Power off, then the EFI boot menu would boot the Fedora live USB device. _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
