Black screen after grub with Nobara 43 and Windows dual boot

Hello! I have Nobara 43 and Windows 10 IoT LTSC installed on separate drives, been able to flip back and forth just fine. I updated the AMD chipset and GPU drivers to the latest versions in Windows to run some benchmarks today, but now I’m unable to boot back into Nobara, just got a black screen instead, no cursor. I can’t even do a fresh install with Ventoy because I also get a black screen. Ctrl+Alt+F3 doesn’t work.

When I asked around on Discord, I was told to enter edit mode and put “3” after “quiet splash” to get into the terminal. That got me to a black screen with “Booting a command list” then it just stayed there. Adding “nomodeset” gave the same result. I tried rolling back to the previous version of the GPU in Windows just in case, but that didn’t work. Now I can’t boot into Nobara, can’t even do a fresh install. Please help!

My specs: 9800x3d, 9070XT, 32GB RAM. It’s the official KDE version.

Nobara is a spin-off from fedora and is not supported here. This is similar to the way ubuntu, mint, and others are based on debian but NOT supported by debian.

Please go to the nobara site and ask your questions there.

As Jeff said, we can’t support Nobara.
However, in general, if you hold your BIOS entry key you should be able to bring up a boot select to reinstal … Fedora maybe?
Fedora works well with AMD.
