The Fedora installer hangs on startup. Removing rhgb and quiet from the boot parameters gives the screenshot attached.
There’s some sort of page fault occurring at the top of memory space it appears, which obviously doesn’t exist. Debian and Ubuntu boot perfectly with the same setup, so I am not sure what is causing the page fault. I’ve seen other instances of similar things, but they have different devices and different error details from this.
Are there any troubleshooting tips or fixes I could try? I don’t want to continue using Windows 11 and I don’t really want to use Debian testing for up to date software.
Here are some system details: Device: Surface Pro 10 Processor: Intel(R) Core™ Ultra 7 165U 2.10 GHz Graphics: Intel(R) Graphics RAM: 64GB SSD: 1TB
Tried it, ran withiut testing the media and with quiet and rhgb removed. After about 10 minutes it has not progressed past the “Booting a command list” screen. I made the USB using fedora media writer if that’s of any help.
So it does to get certain features to work (keyboard mouse touchscreen cameras) but not to run period. Ubuntu and Debian both load (as they should) but Fedora doesn’t. I have been able to install fedora on a 1st generation surface go, but obviously a lot has changed since that was released like five years ago.
If someone can patch in the surface linux kernel into the installer id be willing to give it a good, but I am not skilled enough to do that.
Yeah I tried arch previously and it didn’t work but I’m not sure why… it just like ignored the USB but I tried again and it loaded fine so… strange.
But currently it only seems as though Fedora (all variants) is the only one that fails to boot. I’ve tried UBLUE too but, if memory serves it behaved like arch did. I might try again if I get the chance.
EDIT UBLUE just hangs on a ‘_’ screen. That’s using the specific Surface edition of Bluefin.
Just added an issue I saw in linux-surface repo to my previous comment, and apparently it’s somewhat specific to Fedora. Though I’m not certain if this is the one (I don’t really install Linux on my Surface because of the hoops I need to jump through…).
I checked out that issue, but it seems different. I also tried booting ventoy, but that gets stuck at the surface logo (no grub). I’m very confused as to what’s going on here. I might go ahead and try to install ubuntu debian or arch until some sort of solution can be found.
