Hi
I’m having trouble getting the iso of openmandriva rome to run on my main desktop computer.
The image boots without any problem on my hp pavilion laptop and an older desktop computer with a 4th generation i5.
On my main computer I can’t do it I will add that I have a msi b450 tomahawk max motherboard. I have tried various options like resetting the bios, uploading the latest bios, disabling secure boot of course. I used ventoy as well as recorded the image separately on another flash drive with no results.
Other distributions like cachy os, ubuntu, mint, etc work without problems.
What should I do to get the image to boot ???
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey, welcome to the community!
I know that there have been others who have had issues booting into the live iso. You mentioned ventoy, and there have been others with the same problem. Search around on the forums for ventoy, and you should find what you’re looking for.
As for the other flash drive, what program did you use to flash the iso to the usb drive?

@Pablo797 Welcome! We are happy to see you and hope you decide to make this your home.
Have you tried writing the ISO to the drive using the OM Image Writer?
What version is the ISO?
What happens when you try to boot it? You really didn’t say.
Does the PC see it as a choice? F11 should be your boot menu key.
Does it start to boot and then fail?
We really need more info.

You have two PCs with OpenMandriva on them. Why not write the USB drive with OM Image Writer? It is in the menu.
Sprubs OM Image Writer.
ROME iso version.
The image loads something but does not load the desktop like on my laptop and older desktop. I am not talking about installation but only loading the iso image to the desktop.
I don’t know what sprubs means, but if you have to write it from Windows, please use Balena Etcher.
When I asked for version, I actually meant the actual version number. Telling me it is ROME, does not tell me how old it is. Certain versions had issues with Ventoy and image writing tools.
I do understand that asking questions seems like I am prying, but we don’t know what we don’t know. We can’t just guess.
The program with which I recorded was Rufus. And the version Rome latest openmandriva.rome-24.12-plasma6.wayland.x86_64.iso
That version 24.12 is very old and it had problems with Rufus and Ventoy.
Try this one, as it is much more up to date. A lot of issues have been addressed.
