[Report] Can't even boot HoloISO to install it from a USB drive

SoftwareGuy commented 2 months ago

Your Issue:

When attempting to launch HoloISO to install it, I get GRUB errors from the "Arch Linux UEFI boot menu" that say along the lines of:

(snip)
Error: Invalid magic number.
Error: You need to load the kernel first.

Press any key to continue...
(snip)

Other Linux distros boot fine on this machine (it's a AMD Ryzen mini PC from AliExpress). Written to USB drive in both Rufus ISO Image Mode and DD Image Mode, that did jack squat to change the outcome.

Your device's full specs

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7480HS with AMD Radeon 780M Graphics, 8C/16T
GPU: AMD Radeon 780M
RAM: 16GB DDR5, 4800Mhz

what type of usb drive is it

SoftwareGuy commented 1 month ago

USB3. A USB2 one had no effect either.

GuestSneezeOSDev commented 1 month ago

do you know what is archiso and do you know how to use it?

SoftwareGuy commented 1 month ago

I've heard of it and haven't actually used it myself. Are you implying I should build the ISO myself?

GuestSneezeOSDev commented 4 weeks ago

i recommend adding Intel drivers to the packages.x86_64 and build the iso
