I posted this on bugzilla.redhat, too. I don't know which team needs it: Intel driver or kernel—or someone else?

There are loads of gnome errors, but some TPM stuff and more, too. This could be helpful for the TPM issue I also reported, maybe?

nomodeset disables the i915.ko module. Don't set it.

Chris, reporter filed this because of what happens when nomodeset is *removed* from the Grub stanza -
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/ADBMUZCRKYUGOXHYYVA2YVMPUFKPIS6E/ explains.

Anaconda put nomodeset in the Grub menu because it had been required for the installation process to complete. Reporter removed nomodeset, then couldn't reach X.

Same thing happens here on 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 04) and 4.5.4-300.fc24.i686+PAE kernel,
which looks like was previously reported in bugzilla.redhat.com bug 1331593 and/or bug 1302071 and/or bug 1283348 and https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/FITMTLVW5OBE7ZT4S7YRCD3RLGTHN2KW/ . Maybe this is a dupe or a kernel bug, but it's not a result of using nomodest.

I can remote login to reboot, and collect dmesg. This is from dmesg tail:

Said to be a duplicate:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1335173

Exactly as Felix says:

Because of this bug, I was not able to install Fedora 24 using the normal anaconda graphical installer (no 'nomodeset' parameter present, as is correct).

Instead, I had to use a special troubleshooting setup that applies the 'nomodeset' paramenter in order to be able to install at all.

Once I got the system installed, I noticed that this troubleshooting setting had been incorporated into the grub kernel boot line.

Because the boot process was rather wonky (flashing, artefacts, etc), I wanted to return to the standard setting, so I manually edited the menu to remove the 'nomodeset' parameter—and this is how I discovered this bug.

Putting things the way you insist they are supposed to be (and the way they have been in the past, which is why I wanted to return to the old tried-and-true setting), revealed this bug.
