Cannot Install openSUSE or any other Distro

Howdy everyone!

Looking for some help, I am trying to install openSUSE tumbleweed, the issue is I get stuck at the boot screen, the one that says loading kernel… loading initial ramdisk…

The issue is I am not quite sure what to do to troubleshoot this, any advice would be appreciated. This also happens with every distro I try to install, I’ve tried Arch, Nix, openSUSE and Fedora.

bizdelnick,

Try different bootloader entries, there should be something like failsafe mode.

Is this via a USB 3 or USB 2 port?

Roman,

Have you tried disabling secure boot in the bios

Not sure about your machine, but I have a project box that is a 2008 MacBook Pro, it would get stuck on every distro I tried at initial ramdisk like yours EXCEPT Ubuntu and mint which it installs perfectly fine for whatever reason. Not even Debian worked, I have no idea why this was. Try that possibly?

videogamesandbeer,

Can you share some details about the machine you’re trying to install it on? Are you able to boot a live image?

mvirts,

Yes this. Imagine posting to a stack themed site, your question would be closed for being incomplete. A screenshot of the failed boot would be great, and some info about the options you chose when installing and the type of machine you’re using.
