Booting the exam environment stuck after showing 100%

[dimikhan]

I have created the bootable usb and able to boot my lenovo thinkpad with that. I had to turn off the secure boot option from BIOS to be able to boot. But while loading the exam environment it gets stuck at the end. I can see the big redhat icon in the middle of the screen and 100% loading status at the top-right corner. But can not move from this screen. No setting page comes as it mentioned in the exam preparation document.

Finally I was able to run & PASS the compatibility test for exam on  rhrexboot-2020-08.iso on my MacBook Air (macOS Monterey 12.0.1, 8GB RAM, 1.6 GHz Dual Core Intel Core i5).

Few things to note:

I had to use external keyboard, mouse and speakers as somehow MacBook keyboard mouse, keypad and speakers did not work at all. I had to buy USB-C hub to connect all (USB flash drive, Keyboard, mouse, Logitech C270 camera, Plantronics headset.)

I must say rhrexboot-2020-08.iso is also not straight forward. I had to boot multiple times to see "..." (three dots on blank screen which eventally loads exam in 2-3 mins).

I hope this rhrexboot-2020-08.iso remains valid for the exam too, I am planing to appear for exam in next ~20 days.

Also I wish Red Hat would take some action for the issues people are facing in the the latest iso (rhrexboot.iso).

I have issue  on my Dell Inspiron 16 Plus (7610) , On my Lap  Screen flickering and not able to see or do anything once booted up from ISO.

You can try with old image (rhrexboot-2020-08.iso) if it works for you.

@manoj7shekhawat I tried that as well.. But older ISO not coming up with Graphics, I tried disabling Secure boot to see.. that also failed..

Suspecting issue with Graphics Driver. 

May one line correction in driver or module can fix the issue.. 

@R& T and @@Dev Team ca Work and fix this I believe

[manoj7shekhawat]

Sad to know, you need to use other machine then.

For me Old  ISO also not working,

with New ISO Screen flickering and not able to see the contents.. OLD ISO   is stuck after showing 100%

Hi Prasanth, is this issue resolved? I am using the same model and iam getting the same error

[mittelda]

I have issues with rhrexboot.iso on my Lenovo e330. Could I use also rhrexboot-2020-08.iso for the exams EX180V4K and EX280V45K? rhrexboot-2020-08.iso is working fine.

Hi @mittelda ,

Yes, the older rhrexboot-2020-08.iso version is still valid and can be used for exams.

I have the same issue with the latest rhrexboot, the system is hung after showing 100% with the message "environment is loading into memory", my laptop is Lenovo T460P, but with the old image "rhrexboot-2020-08" it's working, and I checked compatibly with it everything works well, my exam will be next week please confirm to make sure if this image still valid and I can use it with my Exam EX200.
