There is a bug nominated as a Fedora 25 Alpha blocker:

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 suppose it would be, but I didn't say that, so I'm confused as to where you think you're hearing it.
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?)
The reporter says that just booting the live CD doesn't trigger the bug, it only happens on boot of the installed system.
