Can't install Manjaro with Newer kernels

The only iso I can install is Manjaro 19.0.2
Any iso after that is not installing in my system
Or,
iso with kernel 5.4 is installing bt iso with newer kernel is not installing (tried everything from Manjaro 20.0 to 20.1rc6)

Is there any solution?? !!!HELP!!!

I know that the guys that can help will ask you to paste the results for your inxi -Fxxxza -no-host in the thread.
The only thing I can think of is to check your bios version and see if there is an update for it.

I personally don’t have the necessary know-how to help you more than this.

In the live environment I can’t even use the terminal…

I have an Intel mobo…last bios update was on 2018…I am on the latest bios version of that board
i7 3770
H61 mobo
GTX 1050 ti

:arrow_down:

The inxi report from that Live or Installed environment of that .ISO should be fine. Also, if you do install that, the updates might be a bit long-winded but will hopefully get you on the latest version without coming off the LTS kernel (just don’t replace with kernel-latest or whatever it is during the updates). If you do accidentally put in a newer one, just select the 5.4 in GRUB and set it to boot always off the last-used one (I can help with that if you need).

If I install 19.0.2 the update would b huge… that’s why I want the latest iso

I know it will be and might also be problematic, but at least if you boot from it & provide the inxi report, preferably in full-form like so (this will obfuscate (hide) any MAC addresses etc.) :

inxi --full --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host

Also: How to provide good information

Hope this helps you to help us to help you, if you get what I mean :wink: :stuck_out_tongue:
All the best!

Hmmm … NVidia graphics. Afraid I have practically no experience with those but does selecting C in GRUB for the commandline and adding nomodeset make any difference i.e. actually being able to boot into the Live system OK?

Tried that earlier
Same issue
