There is a bug nominated as a Fedora 25 Alpha blocker:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1367321
on affected systems, it prevents boot entirely, which is obviously pretty bad. But we're not sure yet how many systems would be affected by the bug. So we're looking for more feedback.
If you have a system with an AMD processor which you are OK with doing an install to, can you please download any recent Fedora 25 image - e.g.

It's depressing to hear that devs are using Intel-only systems and not a single AMD one. Really.
I thought Linux supporters were among the most conscious wrt diversity and competition ...

(btw: AMD E2 APU here, also an old Opteron, but both systems have their own OSs and I'm not sure I have space or extra HDDs to attempt a fresh install ATM. I will however attempt to test, is it required to install? or just booting from LiveCD would trigger it?)
