The boot image which I downloaded from the torrent, verified with both GPG and SHA256 will not boot whatsoever. It hangs on “waiting for udev to complete device initialization” and then shuts down. I don’t know if these little errors upon startup do anything. I tried with 3 different usb sticks on both case and motherboard ports with slightly changed Rufus settings (ISO image, DD, MBR/GPT) and nothing has worked.
Fast boot and secure boot are off and I am not running with RAID.

How do I use the software? I used Ventoy2Disk. Do I put the ISO on the new Ventoy drive?
Quick check of the Wiki and it turns out I was correct.
Probably should have checked that first, sorry!
Still the same error.

Still nothing. Same error.
None of my BIOS settings were changed except for my ram speed anyway.

Are you going to install linux for dual boot?
echo trellis
Nope.
Full Linux. No Windows.
I’m done with Windows.
I have 3 drives. One has all my important data on it, one has Windows (the one in the screenshot) and one has nothing.
I want to install Linux to the nothing drive.
lapis violet
ok, disconnect the other two drives. only the third drive remain for Linux install image.
echo trellis
I can disconnect one but I’m not taking out my GPU to disconnect my second ssd right now.
Is that required?
lapis violet
You have three SSD NVME drives?
lapis violet
which one are going to install Linux?
lapis violet
In Bios settings are you able to disable windows NVME drive?
echo trellis
I don’t think my BIOS has support for that unfortunately.

The secound NVME M2_slot shares PCIE lanes with the secound PCIe slot.

The secound NVME M2_slot shares PCIE lanes with the secound PCIe slot.
What does that mean for me?
lapis violet
the secound PCIE slot has any card in it?
echo trellis
I only have my GPU and SSDs.
The GPU is in the silver slot, which I assume is the first PCIE lane? So probably not.

And you have tried with other USB ports?
