Kernel 6.1.5 does not boot

[0xjay]

I am receiving a perpetual black screen when attempting to boot into Fedora 37 with kernel 6.1.5. I am using Wayland and had previously manually installed nvidia drivers when 37 was still in beta and it has been working great, all the way up to kernel 6.0.18. I can still use the older kernel just fine, but for some reason 6.1.5 will not boot. It doesn’t even make it to the encryption password after grub. Anyone have similar issues?

Me too. Same problem in Fedora 36 with Nvidia. Black screen after grub. Kernel 6.0.18-200 boots fine.

Maybe post here since it appears to be the same issue.

Black Screen after updating to 6.1.5-200.fc37 w/NVIDIA Drivers

To answer your question, I manually installed nvidia driver version 525.78.01. That’s what is currently working correctly with my kernel version 6.0.18 using Wayland on Fedora 37. I’m not sure how to check the new nvidia drivers that came with the 6.1.5 update.

I am seeing the same issue on my system. Fedora 37, Wayland, nvidia 3000 Series. Motherboard is and AMD B550M based. Tried multiple things, re-install the driver (using latest rpm fusion drivers), reboot. Re-install kernel nothing worked.

Finally downgraded to kernel 6.0.18-300 and things started working again.

I am in a similar boat. Not sure what to do next and thankful for any recommendations.

Did you read the other thread linked just above?
If using encryption it may be a simple workaround to just enter your password on the blank screen.

Apparently this is related to display of the prompt and not preventing the actual password entry.

Thanks for that. I will check out that thread and try the workaround.

Yeah, the work around works for me, even on kernel 6.1.6. I believe they’re working on fixing it already though.

UPDATE: good news the workaround works for me. Looking forward to kernel 6.1.7, hopefully, this will fix the issue. Thank you @computersavvy for the recommendation!

I had a similar problem. If your disk is encrypted, try typing the password and pressing enter when you get to that screen. That worked for me.
