I recently setup a new PC and I wanted to install Manjaro plasma on it. However, trying to boot from the flash drive with the image causes the system to hang at either “Starting User Login Management…” or “[ OK ] Reached target Sound Card.”. Since there’s some variance in where it stops, I suspect some background task is at fault. Is there something that I’m missing/How can i get into the live boot environment and install Manjaro properly?
secure boot disabled in bios;
fast boot disabled in bios - you may not have this option;
fast startup disabled in windows;
AHCI enabled in bios - if you have installed win, and you are on RAID, and if you switch to AHCI, you will not be able to boot into win;
Yes, I did. I have also tried differing USB ports (in particular a USB 3.0 port on the front of my case, and one of the USB 2.0 ports on the motherboard). It did not seem to make a difference though…
Maybe it’s important that both drives I used had a capacity in the neighbourhood of 4 gigabytes? I don’t have a third drive available to me however…
(PS: I did check the integrity of the .iso file I downloaded, so there shouldn’t be a problem there.)
Secure boot, fast boot were already disabled, and ACHI was enabled. Mind you, there’s no Windows on this machine, so I’m afraid I cant change fast startup there. (;
Thank you for the suggestion to use Ventoy though! It seems like it’d make flashing ISO’s a lot less of a pain.
so we have to try some kernel parameters during booting the usb, here is a link on how to add them;
so add this parameter: amdgpu.dc=0
and see if it helped
