Red Hat remote exam on AMD

Hi!

Anyone here had success with AMD processor  ?

In below pdf, Red Hat says many intel ... what about AMD ?

System requirements
-  Computer: You will need a computer with a single active monitor. Red Hat supports
many Intel-compatible X86_64-bit architecture computers.

When I tried compatibility test on my AMD Laptop, even after 1 hours it just hangs at 100%, same USB stick I tried on intel machine it works! unfortunately intel machine is having some other problem, so I can't use for exams.

Please refer my post for more details.

This old image worked with my lenovo t470s laptop.

Does anyone know if this image is valid for certification exam ?

The old ISO is still valid to run the Exam, if you pass the compatibility test with it

There some reported issues with AMD Ryzen and Nvidia cards. Better use a different computer

What computer model exactly do you have?  I believe the next releases of the ISO should have better support for AMD chipsets
