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.

    I saw somewhere that Fedora has stopped supporting legacy bios so I tought that might do the trick, but nope … same problem with Fedora 36.

    I finally solved the problem by putting the SATA controller in AHCI mode (in the bios).
