MGA8-64 MATE on Acer Aspire 5253
No installation issues.
No immediate problems.
Ref bug 31917:

HP Pavilion 15, AMD A8-4555M, AMD graphics, mga8-64 Plasma system.

No installation issues. This computer predates all Zen, so probably isn't affected. However, following Herman's lead...

No issues noted.

Comment 4 Thomas Andrews 2023-08-15 23:02:05 CEST

I can't imagine that Foolishness, my Dell Inspiron 5100 with the 32-bit P4, would be affected by this, but I tested it, anyway. It passed, with no apparent issues.
