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.

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

      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.

        I tried uploading a picture, but couldn’t figure out how, I will try again after work.

        As for some system information it’s an old Dell Optiplex 710 workstation, it’s has UEFI but no option to turn off secure boot.
