I've tried to install using an USB stick but there is no option to use the free space I have in a disk and create a boot partition there for F34. I can only use an entire disk to install.

Am I missing something? I've already installed some OS in this "free" area I have.

Thanks

tle:
Would you mind taking a video of the installer's partition screen that you are seeing?

Hi tle,

I've managed to install it. Afterwards I've installed Plasma KDE and KVM. Kernel is 5.11.10-300.fc34.ppc64le

I've downloaded Debian 10 and sucessfully created a VM. Note that I use the BMC HDMI output (Blackbird) and not a video card, which I suspect is your case.

In general, I've experienced some instabilities.

If I keep updating it, should it automatically get to the stable version (GA) anounced for April the 20th, the official launch of F34?

Will I be able to update my current F33 to F34? Besides the resolution issue that requires setting Xorg to get to 1920x1080 (my setup), there are other things I customized plus applications I've installed. In short, if I have to reinstall everything I'll consider switching to another OS because Fedora life cycle is really short. If I can just upgrade, like I did from F32 to F33, I'll keep it.

Another question maybe you know how: after installing F34 my grub boot order defaulted to F34. I've googled it and edited /etc/default/grub and set GRUB DEFAULT to 8 (this is the 9th entry pointing to the latest kernel with F33) instead of "saved" (was there before) but it did not work, F34 remained the default boot.

Best/Thanks

If you want to change the default boot order, you could use grubby.

Like:

--- Code: ---grubby --set-default /boot/vmlinuz-5.x.x.fc33.ppc64le
--- End code ---
