Subject: Re: [Bug 206175] Fedora >= 5.4 kernels instantly freeze on boot without producing any display output
Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2020 13:40:41 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAHk-=wjDzHKweQfnMSyGdXo1ber-Hm-fYDC9TiE8xZZaEzZ8sw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <bug-206175-5873-dSmrOaqbiZ@https.bugzilla.kernel.org/>

Dave, Alex,
 there's an odd bugreport on bugzilla, where Artem is seeing an odd
early-boot failure.

That one almost certainly has nothing to do with you guys, but see the
later odd (and apparently unrelated) report about some AMD graphics
firmware issue and a black screen.
