Yesterday (2024-09-14) I downloaded fresh ISO of Endeavour OS.
Installed on my linux tablet using offline mode.
After installation, I opened the welcome wizard & use the update options, which also installed linux kernal 6.10.10 over 6.9.x. And now it is stuck while booting up.
framebuffer coreboot8: probe with driver framebuffer failed with error -17
I found relevant threads: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=298087
In this thread one user installed LTS kernal, so I booted into fallback mode & installed LTS kernal (and headers) and then selecting LTS version correctly boots into desktop without any problem.

One user sugested to use initcall_blacklist=simpledrm_platform_driver_init as kernal parameter, which I did and the screen goes black with no response despite typing my user password.
Basically this enabled early kms start for the intel i915 driver. Endeavour OS uses dracut, so this is what I did:
Created /etc/dracut.conf.d/earlykms.conf and added the following to the file:
force_drivers+=" i915 "
Then I ran:
sudo dracut-rebuild
But there’s a new issue popping up:
Display configuration now shows 2nd output device Unknown1 and the main display keeps flickering unless I disable it. Well maybe this issue is for another post.
P.S.
I thanks @ringoX128:matrix.org , they helped me debug this entire thing.
i am sorry that i am writing this in form of “rtfm” but there is so many diffrent options that you can enable or distable or check them, that you should carefully read and follow instructions for your card https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Intel_graphics# . especially read carefully part 2: loading nad part 6 troubleshooting. that’s the arch way. but i recommend read all that page.
