Something is really wrong

[osprey]

it sounds like you got it to install but just will not boot.

I do not think the intel iris GPU will be an issue. most intel is supported out of box.

You said it was running but stopped?

when you see that option as to what to boot. hit "E" key... then go to the linux line (longest one) and add the word "single" without the quotes to the end of the line. it will start you in single user mode. Once in there at the terminal type in...

sudo dnf update -y

make sure you are plugged into internet. this will update everything and hopefully fix it.

A note on single user mode: usually single user mode does not start the network, rather it's a rescue mode which usually just mounts the root filesystem as read only. So there are a few things to do to get the network up like remounting the root filesystem as read write, for example: mount -o remount,rw /, and then set multi-user mode in systemd to get a full networking environment, for example: systemctl isolate multi-user-target, and then start the network for example: systemctl start NetworkManager. It depends on which networking management the installation is using. If systemd-resolved is the default resolver, one needs to make sure it's running.

Yesterday I've decided to try Fedora. Installed it, set everything up.

Did you rebooted successfully after install yesterday?

You can remove the words 'rhgb' and 'quiet' from the kernel parameters by pressing 'e' to edit at the boot menu; this allows you to see the text scrolling in the background, which may show the error.

here the fun begins - after I insert usb flash with any distro in it and choose 'try / install' nothing happends. Just screen goes blank or black screen with _ and nothing happens.

Do you have another USB drive to check, in case this one might have any issues?

Hallo.....and welcome to Linux.org, the friendliest general Linux forum online.

One quick question - and this is just a thought, mind you - but.....is this is a brand-new computer, just released by the manufacturer? I only ask, because unlike the Windows world, where manufacturers HAVE to ensure everything works OOTB from the word go (they lose their Windows certification if it doesn't, and none of 'em want that), on this side of the fence things work a wee bit differently.

Most open-source software is developed in people's free time.....and in nearly every case, nobody is getting paid a dime for what they do. In addition, many manufacturers refuse to share technical details about hardware with the Linux kernel developers, so drivers have to be "reverse-engineered" from their Windows counterparts.....and this takes time; anywhere from a few weeks to a few months, depending on how much time the maintainer of the particular driver is able to devote to the task.

In other words, brand-new hardware sometimes just WILL not work under Linux straight away. It's something to be aware of.

Everything was good after install. Rebooted after some time, logged in and started setting system up. My guess is that an update came and destroyed something.
Did that already with the 'e' manipulation. Got line something like 'booting from list' or something like that and nothing further.

I have 3 different and none of them led to success

2 years old. Bought it from laptopwithlinux.com with linux preinstalled. Distrohopped a hundred times since and never had anything like this. Robots guess it is something with bios

You mean pressing escape while 'loading fedora' line is visible? Nothing. Just like any other button or combination.

Intel Iris
Combination gives no result

Pressing "ctrl+alt+f5" should switch you to another tty, this should normally work, so my first guess is the system is stuck somewhere during the boot process. Pressing escape should normal result in the display verbose output of boot messages, if that's not working would either think the system is frozen or something else. As @APTI already advised, I would do a hardware test.

The other thing you could try is almost the same as this but instead of adding the word "single" is adding the word "nomodeset" (without double quotes) and then press "ctrl+x" to boot.

I have already inserted another m2 drive and tested, results are same - blur and freeze.
Nomideset, deleting quiet and similar manipulations already tried, no result.

What you can try is copying Hiren's BootCD to a flash drive and boot from that. It's a Windows Pre-Installation Environment. Does that boot correctly?

OK silly question time, have you inserted the correct M2 drive, not all m2 slots are NVMe compatible [although they may have the right keyway] on some older motherboards it may be printed SSD or have a sticker SSD only

Windows? Gonna need some laptop chemical washing after this. I'll try...

Not sure what do you mean, but that drive i have tested is a second slot m2, where I keep my backups.
I have another m2 a new and absolutely empty one, also put in for a check - all lead to same result, blurry window after selection to install linux.

LOL It's basically a Windows live environment comparable to a Linux live boot environment where you get a desktop. Just curious to see if you get any further with that. Just as a comparison. Not that I'm trying to get you using Windows, this is a good option for being able to update firmware for some devices that can't be done from Linux.

I know, I'm just trying to mood myself, because this stupid shid already exhausted me. I starting to understand this is a bios problem, because same reaction I get with different ssd drives and different usb flashes.

Not sure what do you mean,

M2 is a slot, it comes in 3 forms M2M for NVMe M2B for SSD and M2M+B the M2M is wired for NVMe only, the M2B slot for SSD only and the M2 M+B can be wired for one, other or both

ok so remind me of the make and full model of your machine and i will see if i have a worksheet for it
