Summary	0004548: Kali Linux Graphical Installer doesn't work on AMD Ryzen 2500U Mobile
Description	Kali Linux Graphical Installer fails to display graphics during the installation on Hp Envy x360 (Model 15M-BQ121DX) with AMD 2500U APU. This is likely due to AMD Firmware Support arriving in the 4.15 Linux Kernel, and lacking the AMD Firmware. Firmware for these chips can be found in the standard Linux-firmware repo: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/ The installer works in EFI Mode, however, there are many issues in the OS after installing with EFI. (graphical glitches, crashes, etc.)
Steps To Reproduce	Boot into a live session on an Ryzen 2500U chip. Select Graphical Install.
Additional Information	This will likely be resolved over time as the base kernel/firmware expands??? I'm happy to try fixes/betas. Attaching picture of exact graphical issue. The system is responsive, as I can make the static change as I move the mouse/select different options. I just can't see them. The issue persists even when hooked up to an external display.
