Howdy everyone!
Looking for some help, I am trying to install openSUSE tumbleweed, the issue is I get stuck at the boot screen, the one that says loading kernel… loading initial ramdisk…
The issue is I am not quite sure what to do to troubleshoot this, any advice would be appreciated. This also happens with every distro I try to install, I’ve tried Arch, Nix, openSUSE and Fedora.
Have you tried disabling secure boot in the bios
My windows did this to me while I was dual booting with Mint, re-enabled secure boot when I went back to windows to check a wiki real quick.
Can you share some details about the machine you’re trying to install it on? Are you able to boot a live image?
Yes this. Imagine posting to a stack themed site, your question would be closed for being incomplete. A screenshot of the failed boot would be great, and some info about the options you chose when installing and the type of machine you’re using.
Not sure about your machine, but I have a project box that is a 2008 MacBook Pro, it would get stuck on every distro I tried at initial ramdisk like yours EXCEPT Ubuntu and mint which it installs perfectly fine for whatever reason. Not even Debian worked, I have no idea why this was. Try that possibly?
Is this via a USB 3 or USB 2 port?
