dracut seems to be producing unusable initramfs images with nVidia 340. I have an nVidia 610, that uses the proprietary nvidia 340.107 driver. I have noeveau blacklisted, but when I attempt to boot using the standard image, I get a blank screen for a frame buffer. X never loads. Changing the boot parameter vga=791 parameter to text. Allows me to see what is going on. I can console in, but neither the Network adapters, nor the nvidia driver will work. I have to either use failsafe, or linux-nonfb images from Mageia 6.
Do you have "nokmsboot" on kernel command line ?
CC: (none) => tmb
Yes I do.
Hm, if network is not working either, then some more low-level is broken. What kernel ?
At least the right video driver seems to have been used: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25826#c1 Assigning to kernel group as Thomas has already looked at this - thanks!
Assignee: bugsquad => kernel
Kernels tried are 5.3.13 and I think the 4.x kernels from Mageia 6. I'm going to attempt to roll back dracut to 0.44
Rollback didn't help.
