Which software are you using to burn the iso?

Under Ubuntu Linux on the another machine:

sudo dd if=/tmp/ubuntu-23.10-6.5.8-t2-mantic.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M status=progress oflag=sync

I have installed apple-set-os loader. Could this be the reason?

Seems to be some issue with your USB

Rom888 commented 1 year ago

I tried with another USB, and the same result. Also the Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator doesn't accept this ISO.

Try burning using macOS

Rom888 commented 1 year ago

After rebooting into macOS everything is fine with the same USB. It looks like it was because nvram fa4ce28d-b62f-4c99-9cc3-6815686e30f9:gpu-power-prefs=%01%00%00%00

Possible

I have experienced the issue in the past on my MacbookPro15,1. Use the Ventoy ("https://ventoy.net/en/download.html") utility. I have never had an issue since I begun to use the utility. These two models are pretty close in specification if I remember right.
