![]() platform microcode: Falling back to user helper platform microcode: Direct firmware load failed with error -2 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fed08004 I can also see (there may be typos or errors in the individual characters here, reading off the fuzzy video): The first line of the traceback looks to be in 'virt_efi_get_time'. Repeated around when the traceback shows up. "platform microcode: Direct firmware load failed with error -2" It appears that the crash happens right around microcode loading. So I'm craning my neck around awkwardly and stepping through the video frame-by-frame. I'll attach what I've got and hope you can figure it out. I really have no idea what component to file this against, I can't read kernel traces. So for now what I've got are some photos and a video of the boot. Install ubuntu dell venue 8 pro install#I'm hoping to avoid doing a permanent install of Fedora until it's at least vaguely usable. I _could_ do an install of the barely-functional 3.11-based system and then install 3.12 and 3.13 kernels and try to store the output from them to look at it from the 3.11 kernel, but that would necessitate blowing away the Windows 8.1 install, which would mean I couldn't make any real use of the tablet until all the various bugs are fixed. So I really can't get it out in text form at present. ![]() Install ubuntu dell venue 8 pro serial#I don't have any kind of serial console setup that'd work with this tablet. I can't direct the output over the network as it doesn't have ethernet. Unfortunately, it's going to be hard getting details out in a really usable form. With 3.12 or 3.13, though, boot fails part way through. ![]() Almost none of the other hardware on the tablet works, though. With a 3.11 kernel and 'nomodeset', I can even get to a GNOME 3 desktop, and with a keyboard and mouse plugged in, I can use it. I can build Fedora 20-based images that deal with icky 32-bit UEFI firmware and boot. This is a Bay Trail-based 8" tablet similar to the Lenovo Miix2 and the Asus T100. So, I bought a Dell Venue 8 Pro to play with getting Fedora running on it. ![]()
