As shown in the image, trying to boot the official latest vanilla Arch Linux ISO from a USB gets stuck in this phase. Surprisingly enough, no Linux distro is capable of booting in my laptop now, I tried Ubuntu, Fedora, and others, none of them boot.

Relevant specs:

  • AMD Ryzen 7 3700U
  • AMD Radeon RX Vega 10 (iGPU)
  • UEFI (CSM disabled)

I even tried with different USB sticks, different USB ports of my laptop, none of that worked.

An specific settings page? Or like just a photo of the main page?

hopefully not too many but all would be preferred lol

#

just want to do consider all bases

surreal jetty
#

Oh ok, give me a sec

#

also i see that error regarding TPM, i dont know much about TPM and how it regards to linux but may be worth looking into

#

disable TPM/secure boot for testing sake

disable fast boot for now

#

disable secure boot

#

try reboot to the usb

surreal jetty
#

Ok I'll try that

#

Nah, stuck again in the same exact thing

#

It's strange how I can't get Linux to boot, but a USB with windows on it boots perfectly fine

#

It can be something related to the kernel version? Because all distros I tested today have Linux 6.x.x, but a while ago I used to have Kubuntu on this exact same laptop with Linux 5.19.x

hmmm this is going above my head now unfortunately, i will suggest waiting for someone else to step in

Understandable

#

Well, I downloaded and tested Kubuntu to see if it works, and it did not boot

#

But Windows installation boots perfectly

#

Edit 2: Something weird just happened. I am making a bootable USB of Arch Linux (again) but this time selecting MBR partition type in Rufus. It asked me to download Syslinux, and that never happened when doing a GPT partition USB. Does GPT uses Syslinux?

also since mbr is deprecated rufus is asking you to insatll a package to make the live usb boot from mbr

#

try disabling csm boot since that is the older boot standard

#

i only have issues with rufus lol

So far no progress today. This is weird
