From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Anyone had this probleme before? I can Install Debian bookworm just fine, but on the same machine, during the installation of Tumbleweed and Fedora the system just freeze. On Fedora it always freezes at the step "Configuring kernel-core X86_64"

I suspect it might be related to the kernel version but somebody might have another clue.

For reference it's a (+/-) 10 years old desktop with and old ati radeon gpu .

EDIT : In case someone is stuck with the same problem ... putting the SATA controller in AHCI mode (in the BIOS) has solved my problem.

Oh that is weird? Just to confirm, can you boot into the live USB?

[–] zjhitni 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yep . I hadn't tried the install from the live USB since at first I created a fedora-server USB installer , so I gave it a go. It boots in the live-os just fine, but installation on HD fails.
