Can Install debian, but impossible to install Fedora or Tumbleweed. - eviltoast

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.

      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.
