Hello,

I am new to these waters so please forgive anything "newbish"

# kernel-core-5.18.15-200.fc36.x86_64
- does the same thing as the kernel-5.18.13-200.fc36.x86_64
- However! kernel-5.17.5-300.fc36.x86_64 WILL!

from my readings I find issues with nvidia drivers and possible TPM2 issues.

- Backstory I installed 6 others of these using the SAME usb and they are all the "same" dells.

I am having trouble understanding how to eliminate the possibilities and narrow down WHY this one particular machine is causing this problem.
I am in the process of updating a cluster for a University Class and I am just nervous about this borking other systems down the line.
True the computers I am updating are completely different models.. Which now as I think more about brings slight terror.

Any advice/ direction would be appreciated!
Be well!

I'm not sure if Linux - Kernel is the best place for this question; more likely to get replies in Linux - Hardware or Linux - General. (You can report the first post of a thread to ask a moderator to move it.)

Please use "[code]..[/code]" tags for commands and output in future, which preserves formatting and improves readability.


I'm assuming you are certain that the USB drive has not changed, and that it's the machines which are not identical?
(Otherwise, reinstalling two machines - the broken one and one of the working ones might confirm that.)

Maybe a fully verbose inxi will highlight something - i.e. do "inxi -v8 > saved-inxi.txt" on one machine, transfer the file (via USB/network/whatever), then do "diff saved-inxi.txt <(inxi -v8)" to see the differences.


What OSes are the other machines currently running?

For an environment where stability matters, I would want to be using LTS releases - both for kernel and distro - and so wouldn't have chosen Fedora...
