Hello,
Requirements:
I have Searched the forum for my issue and found nothing related or helpful
I have checked the Resources category (Resources Index)
I have reviewed the Wiki for relevant information
I have read the the Release Notes and Errata
OpenMandriva Lx version:
OpenMandrivaLx.6.0-snapshot.20250420.3895-plasma6x11.znver1.iso
OpenMandrivaLx.6.0-snapshot.20250420.3896-plasma6x11.x86_64.iso
Desktop environment (KDE, LXQT…):
N/A
Description of the issue (screenshots if relevant):
I am attempting to install OpenMandriva as a second OS on my desktop.
I have attempted to burn the image to the USB stick using both Rufus (in dd mode) as well as the Balena Ether. I have attempted both the AMD version (as I am running a Ryzen 9 5900X) as well as the x86_64 version. Checksums were verified in powershell before burning.
Secure boot has been disabled. After selecting the USB disk in the bios, grub runs fine.
When I select the live option with no modifications, my screen will shut off after a few seconds and remain that way. A boot process seems to be occurring as the lights on my keyboard powercycle and the system sounds as if it is loading something. After that… nothing.
I have attempted to add “nomodeset” to the end of the linux grub line as NVidia seems to always have issues. When I do this and hit F10 to boot, the grub menu disappears but the splash screen stays and the monitor does not turn off. However, nothing else happens. The system still sounds as if it is running through a load sequence of some kind.
In either case, I cannot pull up any form of console and I cannot view the systemd boot status messages.
Relevant informations (hardware involved, software version, logs or output…):
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
GPU: NVidia RTX3080
RAM: 64GB
MOBO: ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F
The monitor is using a display port instead of HDMI.
I apologize this isn’t much to go on but unless I can get a console of some kind, I don’t know what other information I can provide.
