Hello community!
Today I’d like to try Fedora 42 on my Dell Precision 5490, but unfortunately it freezes right after the desktop loads…
No CTRL+ALT+Fn; no capslock toggle.
I tried sending SysRq+E to kill all running processes - it worked. Of course I rebooted with sysrq_always_enabled
. Now I can see on the console that the task has been killed - but very slowly, about one process/thread every ~10 seconds.
I’m trying to get a working/responsive console now to capture some logs. is there anything else I can do? Are there any “safe mode” boot args I can try?
Edit: Also shim “repairs” the boot-loader while booting right from the Live media, adding a “Fedora” Boot Entry to the EFI System. This shouldn’t happen (see Boot0008 record).
