Hi @Zulama
Does your laptop use only the Intel Arc graphics ? I see “Intel Core i7 Ultra 268V” has it included.
I just had a problem with Intel Arc and the 4.3.0 installer:
- The installer uses Xe driver for the graphics during the first part of installation, until the first reboot.
- …but it does not copy the firmware to the new installation on the disk, so I was getting black screen.
I found a work-around for the 4.3.0 installer, I think. (TLDR - copy the xe firmware to the target just after the installation begins) :
-
Boot the installation media, and select the
Install kernel latest. -
Prepare the keyboard layout, disk destination, user name.
-
After pressing the button to begin installation, watch the screen for the creation of the luks partition and the lvm partitions (it is only a minute or two).
-
Press Ctrl-Alt-F2 to find a text terminal (maybe it is Ctrl-Alt-F3?). There is a prompt that looks like this:
[anaconda root@localhost /] -
Change to the root directory
cd / -
Verify that the “xe” firmware is present:
ls usr/lib/firmware/xe- you should see several files inside the directory. (bmg_guc_70… and some more) -
Wait until the initial directory structure is created on the target. Type :
ls /mnt/sysroot/
You should see some directories inside. (Use the UP arrow, and press Enter to try again, until you see the directories created. -
copy the directory to the target disk:
cp --parents -r /usr/lib/firmware/xe /mnt/sysroot/ -
Go back to the graphical installation Ctrl-Alt-F6, and wait for it to finish.
-
Reboot, and hope to see some GUI.
At least on my current computer, this was enough to integrate some initial Xe firmware, to avoid the black screen. I am still testing, but I am very hopeful…
Let us know if you succeed, or if you don’t!
I think that the problem has already been addressed for the future: issue #10523
I guess it will also be fixed in the next installer version.
