Fedora 40 workstation beta image won't boot on Slimbook Fedora Edition

When trying to boot the Fedora 40 workstation beta image on my Slimbook Fedora Edition, the boot gets stuck. If I hit esc before it gets stuck, I can see the console output, and it looks like this:

Is there anything I can do about this and boot into a working F40 workstation live environment?

Can you try the release candidate from Index of /pub/alt/stage/40_RC-1.14/Spins/x86_64/iso

I am asking because unfortunately the beta iso provided on the website isn’t updated.

Thanks, I didn’t know about that option, but it helped and I was able to boot and finish the installation. After installation the system was stuck in safe graphics mode but I was able to use Grubby to remove the nomodeset parameter from the kernel and now everything seems fine.

I didn’t try one of the spin images, but Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-40-1.14.iso seems to boot fine.
