Ask away: http://ask.fedoraproject.org > > Thanks for the info James I performed a clean install and used the preliminary hw argument for the the default kernel 4.2.x and everything worked fine; enabled fedora-updates-testing repo and installed kernel 4.3 added the nouveau.modeset=0 and rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau to the kernel argument and it fails when it tried to load the USB drivers. My laptop models is [0] Hardware name: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. GL552VW/GL552VW, BIOS GL552VW.210 09/01/2015; if I can't get to boot from kernel 4.3 I will try and compile mainline kernel and try that or just settle for the Intel driver for now. If you have any more tips and tricks; I'll be more than happy to give it s a shot; In the mean time I will install bumblebee with the 4.2 kernel and see if that will go well.
