I have an issue while booting, and it’s that Fedora gives no Video When I boot. However, when I boot into Windows 11 and use it for a while, and then reboot, Fedora works as usual. The problem is that sometimes I want to boot into Fedora when I first turn on the Computer, but it does not show video, the GRUB menu works fine. Here are my PC specs:
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) E5-2670 v2 (20) @ 3.30 GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP
Disks:
2 TB HDD
1 TB M2 Disk (Both Windows and Fedora are installed here)
RAM: 16 GB
I have an X79G Motherboard (Compatible with UEFI)
My fedora edition is: “Workstation Edition”

If you have fast boot enabled in Windows this can break correctly booting Fedora.

Make sure fast boot is turned off in windows.
Then shutdown the system.
Turn it back on and enter Fedora.

I have the same problem on fedora 42.
you can try to click ‘e’ while you are in grub menu,and then add ‘nomodeset’ to the line which begin with linux(also have the kernerl version),and then Ctrl+x. that can go into VGA.and you can go to the desktop.

after I go to the desktop,I have being try dnf up -y,or downgrade kernerl version ,or downgrade amd-gpu-firmware version,all can’t work.

u can use sudo dmesg to view the init log,I can not find useful thing,it just say

probe with driver amdgpu failed with error -22

I think it may be a kernel or amdgpu’s bug.

btw,I only install fedora 42 on my machine

I tried downgrading the kernel from 6.15.5 to 6.14.0 and the problem persists even disabled fastboot from the BIOS and it does. Not work

Do I have to install extra packages? according to AMD Support you can install drivers for your pc but they’re only aviable for certain linux distros

8

The linux kernel includes the amd gpu drivers. There is nothing extra needed for the kernel support.

maybe you can reboot or try again. 6.15.5 is fine.

It seems it may be a computer problem since I tried using Ventoy to boot another live CD, and the same problem occurs unless I use a 3D application on Windows. Hope someone helps me

Fedora 43 has not even hit beta yet. Unless you have the expertise to work on an unreleased OS you should wait for at-least the beta of 43.
