Thanks for the help!

Will the Kernel be automatically switched to a newer one, when there’s an update or do I have to switch it manually back?

23

Frankly I don’t know. It probably will use the new one.

24

I finally got the rhgb quiet removed and did add a and the 3 to the kernel command.
It ended with a login prompt. I logged in as user.
Then I tried to start a gdm:
sudo systemctl start gdm
Blank screen with cursor blinking.

25

This also happens in connection with older nVidia cards and GNOME47+Wayland, so it might not work for you, but nevertheless, you might want to try this workaround.

Please also check if you can start an X.org instead of a Wayland session, by running startx instead of start gdm.

I was able to fix the freeze by trying to fix my camera. I think either installing sudo dnf install akmod-intel-ipu6 or sudo dnf install v4l-utils but I can’t tell for sure. If you have an integrated ipu6 camera, maybe this could cause the freeze?

27

akmod-intel-ipu6 is not in the repositories !

Any assistance available ?

Well, it works finally. It was the ipu6 which caused the problems.
I
checked rpm find for

  • akmod-intel-ipu6-0.0-17.20240624gitaecec2a.fc41.x86_64.rpm
  • ipu6-camera-bins-0.0-14.20240507git987b09a.fc41.x86_64.rpm
    I installed ipu6-camera
 first and akmod-intel
 second.
    The kernel 6.11.11 booted finally.

I modified the settings to make sure that latest kernel will boot now
sudo grub2-set-default 0
sudo grub2-editenv list
The most recent kernel will be the default one.

Thanks a lot for your support

This is rather interesting! What Kind of Machine (Laptop) do you have, because I the ipu6 Cameras are still not working properly in general. Could you open Snapshot and test, if your camera is working?

This could help me in my other topic, because I’m still trying to figure out, what my Camera needs to work and I’ve found out that there are different ipu6 Cameras and not all of them have Support in the Kernel - some are still missing.

31

Snapshot ? I don’t find it


32

It’s the preinstalled camera App. It’s just labeled as Camera.

33

Camera doesn’t work and I removed it. I am using Cheese and it works.
In Cheese you can select the camera in preferences.

My system is Acer Aspire S-27 All-in-One.
Camera doesn’t work in all my other systems: Acer Aspire C-27 and Acer Aspire 17.

34

You should start a new topic for Acer Aspire cameras. The LHDB may be useful. Searching for a device may get a list of linux drivers and there are sometimes user comments that tell you how to enable problematic devices.

Installing akmod-intel-ipu6 from rpmfusion-nonfree or even uninstalling all related packaged did not solve this issue for me. The problem persists through updated kernel version 6.12.4-200. Only blacklisting intel_ipu6_isys fixed the boot issue for my machine, Dell Latitude 7640/0982JK, BIOS 1.16.0 07/12/2024.

36

Kernel 6.12.4-200 boots without problems here. Acer Aspire C-27

37

So your Solution so far is basically disabling the Intel ipu6 Camera Drivers until they finally got fixed?
akmod-intel-ipu6 worked for me, I did a clean install again and I can say that I even have crashes with Kernel 6.12.4 until I install this package. But then Kernel-Lockdown gets disabled and I can’t enable it again.

I wonder what Intel is doing. They have impelented some Cameras but then other ipu6 Cameras just got left out and are causing lots of pain.
