The OP says that F7 cannot boot; that is precisely what happens as a
result of the mentioned bug.

I indicated in my initial post the address of the bug at Bugzilla. The
OP could then compare his hardware with the hardware mentioned at
Bugzilla. No need to ask him about his hardware, I think.

At Bugzilla, I mentioned long ago the hardware that I am using, but
apparently the testing was not performed on hardware like mine, as I
am experiencing the same bug with the latest kernel. However, I can go
there, again and again, pleasantly, to report that hardware like mine
has not been tested.
