Hi all, I'm trying to make the move from Windows 11 to Linux and getting nowhere. My setup:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 64GB DDR5 6000MT/s
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090
Motherboard: ASUS TUF GAMING B850-PLUS WIFI
OS: Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC (Build 26100)
Storage: Samsung SSD 990 EVO Plus 4TB
I have tried CachyOs, Nobara, Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and Pop!_OS and all fail after printing a message about malformed bluetooth vendor event most the time, but occasionally progress further to a point where it shows me progress on jobs 1 through 6, before freezing. I believe the malformed event is a red herring from what I can find. Just once, Nobara gave me a message about a soft lock on CPU#4.
Things I have tried:
Secure boot, fast boot and CSM are disabled. Legacy USB support set to auto (also tried disabled)
Updated BIOS, loaded optimised defaults (and then set the above settings)
Disabled iommu
Disabled native ASPM
Disabled fTPM
Disabled onboard bluetooth
Changed PCIe speeds to Gen3/4
Tried booting with nomodeset (I do use nVidia specific ISO's though where available)
Tried maxcpus=1
Blacklisted NVMe drivers
Disabled NVMe autonomous power state changes
Different USB sticks
Ventoy, Rufus, balenaEtcher
And probably a bunch more stuff, I've been at this for about 3 days. The only things I haven't tried yet is plugging into a different USB slot, and unplugging my NVMe, purely because my computer is in a fairly inaccessible location so I'd rather not have to pull everything out and unplug everything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
