Rejoice! Yet another successful Fedora version. So what's new?

* RPM 6.0
* GNOME 49
* Disabled X11 for GNOME

AFAIK everything works as expected

I attempted installation of Workstation and KDE Plasma Edition with the release version. I am getting error "drm:radeon device init [radeon]*ERROR* Unable to find PCI I/O Bar"

No GUI ever comes up on the main graphics at this point. I went back to my old Fedora 42 Live thumbdrive and it correctly boots and loads up. The Beta of 43 seemed to work fine, but something appears wrong with Radeon drivers on the PPC64LE release with the release version. Unfortunately I don't have an Nvidia card to try.

Borrowed a Geforce 1030 graphics card. Installation went forward as planned. What I didn't realize is RPMFusion doesnt have drivers for PPC64LE. 
The default driver is quite sluggish.

Well everything is installed now and updated, I am going to try and switch back to my Radeon and see if the latest updates have made any difference.

Could you please confirm if you could re-produce the same issue with GNOME version?

That could be related to the kernel and amdgpu version of that installer image.

Fedora has just bumped GNOME to 49.1

Everything still works nicely. I am working with upstream packagers to re-introduce ppc64le packages for 0ad game and let's hope I could get ziglang ppc64le rpm package in Fedora 44.

Swapping back to the Radeon after installing with the Geforce has successfully booted and works as expected. All apps working(including Kmail which was broken in the FC42 PPC64LE). System feels snappy with proper graphics drivers running. Very nice release now.

tle, I tried the GNOME version which I assume is the main workstation version. Same error on installation with the Radeon error mentioned above.

If I can help troubleshoot something, let me know and I will see what I can do on this end.

@migsutu would you be able to send me the full `dmesg` logs?
