Hi QA Team:

I was able to get the 480 to install from Live mode.  I cheated by
installing from a Laptop i7 in UEFI mode to an external USB SSD drive.  I
then took this configured drive and popped it into another system, an Intel
i5, and it booted correctly in UEFI mode.  I am using the nouveau driver.
The Laptop i7, has Intel HD internal chipset.  The internal resolution is
very hard so I have to changed to 1600x1200 just to be able to read it.  I
had to install many options because the build is small as it should be.

I tried to install the nvidia-current using the standard methods, and it
failed.  There is a workaround but I can test in the morning.  Basically,
go into init 1, unload nouveau, using XDrake configuration, and run nvidia
xconfig.  It should work as it has in the other releases.  I had problems
where kde did not start and it was started manually.

Regards,

Efrem Mc

I have managed to get logs (xorg journal dmesg) but they don't tell anything as far as I can see. I am not sure also whether manner in which I am getting them is valid.

Switch to a virtual terminal and as root run "systemctl restart sddm" and you get the desktop back but kalarm not longer works. This may be because the pim server is not running so it all may work after a full install.

It looks like the vboxvido kernel module is broken in some way as I get loads of kernel messages from it and the live system will not start. It works fine in troubleshooting mode. It's possible that the kernel module is not the latest VB version but I don't know for certain.
