Re: Remember my F20 nvram issues with Lenovo x120e? More sagas

A quick piece of review then on to day's failures. Back in December? I was working on installing F20-64 on my Lenovo x120e and could not update NVRAM. You here helped me get a working system. ============ now on to recent history ============= Then the audio started getting flacky and could tell if it was hardware or a software update (headphones worked, but not built in speakers). So I picked up another x120e from ebay that had an oem Windows7 on it. I pulled that drive and put in my drive from the old system. I figured that since it was working without nvram info it would work in another box. And it did. For a while. Then one reboot after a kernel update, it would not reboot. A long set of messages and then failure to sync drive and powering off. I found that if I hit s or <ctl-s> a lot of times at the right point it would boot up. I rebooted as little as possible and only applied updates when gnome would freeze up (in a tty session). Finally it got too bad, and I put the drive back into the old system with the flacky audio where I am right now. ===================== Finally today's failures ================= So I ordered a new SSD drive and today set about installing F20-64. See bug 975537, and no, Adam, I did not save anything. Instead I set about doing an i386 install! That seemed to go ok until I got to the reboot. It goes through a reboot and shuts off. I have tried with <alt-d> to catch any messages, but none that I can see. :( So now what? Adam, I CAN do another x64 install and if you give me the steps to rescue any logs (you mean they were not part of the upload?) I will attach them to the bug report.

Or I COULD do a rawhide install. Point me where to get the ISO image and I am willing it give it a go. I DO at least have this system to work from.

thank you for your support. Now I think I will try that Fedora 20 arm install again. This time recable my monitor so I have direct hdmi connection to get me through firstboot.
