Help with Installing Bazzite: Boot Issues

Asked by CuriousCactus89
Hi everyone! I'm having trouble installing Bazzite. When I boot it with Ventoy, I see some warnings saying that certain devices don't exist, and then it goes into emergency mode. It suggests I check the system logs or save a report file to a USB stick. On the other hand, when I try to boot it with Balena Etcher, my screen just freezes at the mouse cursor. Any advice on how to get this install working?

I just saw your updateโ€”making the USB with Fedora Media Writer is a solid move. Let us know if that fixes the problem!

CuriousCactus89: Yeah, I'm currently in the process of that. I checked the BIOS settings but Iโ€™m still getting the same results.

You might want to try using a different USB imaging tool like Fedora Media Writer instead of Ventoy. It often results in fewer boot issues for installations like this.
