New Kernel does not work with Fedora 27 Cinnamon Spin.

[Sethanath]

Hi there,

I have just received the new kernel packages today, through the 'sudo dnf update' command. However, I only listed one below.

kernel-4.14.3-300.fc27.x86_64.rpm

However, upon rebooting, my notebook would stopped at 'Started Hostname Services...', forever. Right now, I have to use kernel-4.13xxxxx in order to boot into Cinnamon.

I hope someone can help.

Right now, I have to use kernel-4.13xxxxx in order to boot into Cinnamon.

Here is more information.
The kernel that would work is Linux 4.13.16-302.fc27.x86_64
NVIDIA 304.137
Compaq Presario F763NR

I hope someone can help.

You will need the updated nvidia driver from testing repo

I received big updates today, via 'sudo dnf update'.

Upon rebooting, I see my laptop stopped at "Started Network Manager Script Dispatcher Service", not "Started Hostname Services..." any more. However, it is not booting into Cinnamon, still. I need to use Linux 4.13.16-302.fc27.x86_64, in order to use Cinnamon for now.

So it's working ok now with 4.14 kernel?

No, it is not working yet. I did the typo in the prior post, which I already edited it. The kernel that would get things to work is Linux 4.13.16-302.fc27.x86_64.

Thank you.

Hi there,
