After updating from kernel 6.18.12 to 6.19.6 I can’t get the login screen, but a black screen instead. I can successfully boot in kernel 6.18.12. AMD graphic card replaced a couple of months ago due to being tire of dealing with graphic issues with nvidia.

Some kernels are buggy, and you will need to use an older one until a new one is released. If the next update also does not work, then you can file a bug on bugzilla.

Since I was going to start a thread with the exact same title, I will post here with a bit more information. I have a old Panasonic CF52 toughbook with Fedora workstation 43 installed.

Yes, I am working on that now. I was looking for existing tickets when I started mucking about with the drivers. I’ll post the bug number when I get it.

Bug report is at Making sure you're not a bot! . I couldn’t find a similar report when I looked, but this ticket has already closed and marked as a duplicate of another. It is a known regression between 6.18.2 and 6.19.2 and it is being worked on.
