Hello All,
I am trying to install Fedora 18 Beta x86+64 on my Dell XPS 15z, and
would appreciate any help.
I am running this laptop on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. This needs the
following parameters on the 3.2.34 and later kernels to make the
screen work:
acpi_backlight=vendor dell_laptop.backlight=0
On earlier kernels, it was solved with;
acpi=noirq
The default installation does of Fedora `8 not work, it displays a
noveau error message and hangs.
nouveau 0000:01:00.0: 0xD581: i2c wr fail: -6
It went beyond this just once (not sure how/why), and failed with
the following;
no medium found on /dev/sr0
dracut: FAIL : Failed to mount block device of live image
Questions
---------
How do I get to edit the kernel parameters at install time, so that
I can try the acpi switches ?
Do I need to give additional kernel parameters for dracut to read
the DVD ?
Also, has any one successfully installed F18 on the Dell XPS 15z ?
