Getting issues on rhrextboot.iso RHRE v20220719.F46ea0c7.

I have an HP Pavilion - AMD - Nvidia

For some reason the system is not booting. Goes until 100% and stop.

Many people are reporting issues with the RHREXBOOT.ISO.

Some are reporting success in trying an older version of the ISO, like here -> https://learn.redhat.com/t5/General/Cannot-Boot-Remote-Exam-Live-ISO-USB-for-Remote-Exam-Boot/td-p/1...

Others simply run into the problem that their chosen hardware is not compatible with the OS and software on the ISO. You will then need to try another computer.

Hi 

Can I use Macbook Pro (Mac OS Ventura ) for EX 280?

[Rilindo]

At the moment, only Intel processors are supported, so if your Mac Book Pro uses an Apple Silicon (M1 or M2) chip, it will not work at all.

Hello ,

I am having a issue with my laptop internal microphone ,but headset microphone is working fine . In this case can to use my headset right do I need to take any prior approval from support team ?

Thank you.

Hello @Sraone 

You are allowed to use a wired USB headset with an inbuilt mic, however, the headset needs to be kept on the desk throughout the exam. The proctor will communicate via chat and make sure to pass the mic test successfully in the Compatibility check as the proctor will need to listen/monitor your surroundings. 

NOTE : Keep the proctor informed that you have connected a wired USB headset during Onboarding

Hi Team 

I'm preparing my laptop for remote exam , but having issues , first of all the fedora media write recommended in the PDF does not work ! The Fedora Media Writer simply shuts down when it is requested to burn USB Drivr with the ISO file downloaded for exam purpose from Redhay. So I had used a different software rufus.exe to burn the USB disk with Red Hat supplied boot ISO image . This time the ISO is burnt and image is wriiten to USB flash drive. But when I edit BIOS settings and choose to boot from USB - the BIOS is not able to load the OS Image from USB Drive , and it defaults to next option which is Windows , and boots the Laptop with Windows . 

Can anyone suggest what steps should be taken to resolve these issues ? There are two issues here that I have reported - you will notice in the para above. 

Please suggest on urgent basis . 

Thanks.

Hi
You have 2 unrelated issues. Fedora Media Writer works. There is something wrong with your probably Windows. It is ok to use RUFUS. The USB stick does not boot probably because the Secure Boot is Enabled in your BIOS. Make sure with your local IT you can disable it. Then it should start booting.
