I'll try what you suggest, later tonight.
Thanks

F40 just 'boots' to a black screen, the same for the KDE iso for F40. Since I 
added nomodeset parameter via grub to the linux cmd line for Knoppix, I also 
tried that for both F40 and the F40 KDE, but got no different results.

I would suspect issues with the GPU. Does Ctrl-Alt-F4 (etc) get you to a text 
console?

What is the GPU make and model?

I also suspect this is a GPU (or driver) issue. I encountered a
similar problem previously when attempting to boot Fedora 38 on my
system, which resulted in a black screen, although the system itself
continued running.

You can refer to the relevant bug report here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2236090 
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2236090)

When I opted to install Fedora 37 instead of Fedora 38, the system
booted without issues. I am currently running Fedora 39, and it
appears that the driver issue has been resolved, as I haven’t
experienced any problems. It might be worth trying an install of
Fedora 39 (or F38).
