What happened?

Tried and tested USB stick, works with every other laptop/computer. I have since tried different USB stick, fresh ventoy install, with/without secureboot support, fresh ISOs etc. The behaviour is always the same with all ISOs.

If I select default mode, the LED of the USB stick blinks for 3 times for 1 second and the system freezes (hard lock) with a black screen and a cursor at the top left. Needs power down/restart.

If an ISO offers grub 2 mode it boots fine. For Windows the winmi mode (spelling?) works.

This laptop is based around the AMD 7840u, has a ton of security options in the bios, I have tested every single one of them, one at a time, the behaviour is the same. Secure boot is off.

These are the ISO's currently on this Ventoy stick:

 archlinux-2024.01.01-x86_64.iso
 debian-live-12.4.0-amd64-gnome.iso
 Endeavouros-Galileo-11-2023.iso
 Fedora-Everything-netinst-x86_64-39-1.5.iso
 Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-39-1.5.iso
 FreeBSD-13.2-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso
 garuda-gnome-linux-zen-231029.iso
 manjaro-gnome-23.1.3-240113-linux66.iso
 Nobara-39-GNOME-2024-01-11.iso
 pop-os_22.04_amd64_nvidia_37.iso
 proxmox-ve_8.0-2.iso
 tiny10 x64 23h2.iso
 tiny11 23H2 x64.iso
 ubuntu-22.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso
 ubuntu-23.10.1-desktop-amd64.iso
 Win10_22H2_EnglishInternational_x64.iso
 Win11_23H2_EnglishInternational_x64.iso

NONE of these boot in normal mode. The ALL boot in grub2 mode and winmi for the Windows ISO's.

A similar issue is reported here with another AMD based ThinkPad of the same generation, although the OP only tested clonezilla, with the same exact result: https://forums.ventoy.net/showthread.php?tid=2765

Hi did you come across a solution or tried other boot makers instead? I own T14 Gen 3 and had exact same issues with Ventoy when selecting grub 2 mode. After managed to install openSUSE Tumbleweed, my system badly froze into blank screen with again stuck cursor on top left. Frustration indeed

@munawar77 Grub 2 works. I also have OpenSuse TW and it works fine, so not sure what is wrong there.
