Hi, I have a certain problem with my computer, I am unable to use Linux for reasons unknown to me. Initially, I thought my external network card was faulty, but I was mistaken. Currently, I think it might be the Ethernet module on the motherboard, but I'm not entirely sure because the system still doesn't boot with the parameter modprobe.blacklist=r81* or modprobe.blacklist=r*. It boots, but after one minute it's just rebooting the pc itself. I've tried downloading Arch, Mint, Kali, Debian, Manjaro, Nobara, PopOS - all had the same problem. When I boot from a USB drive with the system installation, it doesn't work until I enter modprobe.blacklist=r81* in the kernel parameters - then the live ISO boots up, I can install the system, I can run it about 2-3 times and then the same problem occurs again and modprobe.blacklist=r81* no longer works. Very strange situation, I've never encountered such a thing on my old computer, by the way, I now have a new computer on which I would also like to have Linux as the main system. I have two drives in it - one SSD 128GB and the other M.2 1TB. I would like to have Nubara Linux / PopOS! on one and Windows 11 for games like Forza Horizon 5 or Fortnite, which are hard to run on Linux. Overall, I would really like to have Linux for security, I just feel safer on Linux and I know that downloading a virus compatible with this system is practically impossible (I'm not saying they don't exist at all).

My specification is:
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600G
MoBo: Gigabyte A520 Aorus Elite
RAM: Kingston Fury DDR4 2x16GB 3200Mhz

G'day m1nem, Welcome to Linux.org

That is all rather complex

To go right back to basics, ....

Have you disabled Secure Boot ?

Have you disabled Fast Boot ?

Which app did you use to 'make" the bootable usb stick?

Did you verify the download/s?

I will assume we are working on the new PC

I will further assume that we are talking about Linux Mint as the OS to run/install
 
I will ask one more question what is the video card in that machine?

secure boot and fast boot are disabled. I used Balena Etcher and the bootable pendrive was OK. I also tried rufus and the same problem happens. I want to use Nobara on this pc, not Mint
 
Best bet against secure boot will be Ubuntu. Newer Mint and others have the keys;) too, but...
Do you have on option(bios) to save the keys on a USB thumb-drive ?
Also a option(bios) to delete them(after saving) ?

Fast boot disabled is valid by secure boot enabled and by dual-boot

You have a TPM 2.0 module.
On YouTube you can find tutorials(W and L users) on how to skip/jump over/walking by that module.
It boils down to a USB for that task.

I found the solution

I started the system with the
Code:
modprobe.blacklist=NetworkManager
parameter and it seems to work. but now the wifi adapter is not working. When i turned on systemd-networkd, the pc didn't reboot so i can use it. The main problem now is, that i don't know how to set up networkd
 
Maybe THIS will help you. Provided by forum's moderator @KGIII
I don't mess with network-manager, but I know that somewhere on YouTube is an old video on how to --purge it, so you don't have to rely on it.
Still you will have to deal with TPM.
 
since you had to run that what is the output of lsmod | grep r81

WELL, 2 days later i started my PC and same problem happens. I'm not sure if it's because TPM 2.0

Yeah, some words hurts especially when repeated :
I told you so !

If you don't want, if you don't like to hear why, is no problem.
But I told you...you read something but not everything.
I am new to this forum and it is normal to look what the hi-level members have to say.

That's been said, In Linux I'm like...above beginner and below intermediate, but a mechanic when it came to hardware.
I'm not an expert either, but I told you..

So, take a look on YouTube !
Or take the forum's search option.

Should I post a tutorial for you ?
