Boot/Installation not possible due to new hardware #500

Open TobiPeterG opened 1 year ago

TobiPeterG commented 1 year ago

Hey there,

I tried to boot GeckoLinux on my main machine which has an AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and RX 7900XT Due to both being released early this year/late last year, I can't boot them due to missing driver support in your images I tried the Gnome version of rolling

Therefore, I would like to ask you to update the provided ISO's and include kernel 6.2, to provide optimal support and it being the latest stable version in tumbleweed Kernel 6.1 has some significant issues with this new hardware

2022-08-20 the current isos are indeed quite old!

BTW, how do you check that? Here I see 6.4 for the kernel-default package on tumbleweed: https://repology.org/project/linux/versions Also here: https://software.opensuse.org/package/kernel-default

Kernel 6.2 was by that time the newest kernel, the current kernel 6.4 would also be great ofc

@TobiPeterG You can boot with nomodeset kernel parameter and then proceed to install as usual. Once installed, boot with nomodeset again and update your system. It should be fine after that.

I updated the whole system with zypper dup with zero errors. Everything works as expected. Just goes to show how rock solid Tumbleweed is.

You should be able to update the live CD as well with zypper dup yourself since it's persistent by default. I haven't tried that myself but that is my plan.

Tested on:

Beelink GTR7 AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS AMD Radeon 780M

Same. My framework just hates gecko which is unfortunate because I love it. Trying spiral now but I didn't really want to dump suse for debian. I paid for zorin and I'd pay/donate for a fresh gecko.
