Hello,

Finally built a new rig, and wanted to ditch Windows.

Got KDE neon up and running, booted into it, got my browser mostly back to how I like it, ran an update for my video card. I didn’t notice the screen blackout and come back like it normally would for a video update, but I don’t think that has anything to do with my current issue. I tried to restart to make sure it was running, and the update part of discover showed up and said I had a couple hundred updates to get, no big surprise there, since it is a fresh install.

Then it hung on fetching updates, and while I could browse my list of programs, I couldn’t do anything else. So I did a hard shut down and powered back up.

It sticks on some kennel warnings and won’t go any further.

Obviously I can’t really do anything from there that I know of.

I also can’t even get it to boot with the install media. That just sticks on a black screen. I can tell the monitor is actually showing black, as it doesn’t give the “NO SIGNAL” warning. I have no idea what to do from here since I can’t get it to react to anything, much less know how to fix anything if I could get in.

As for what the warnings say, there are 6 or so lines saying the same thing: problem blacklisting hash (-13), and one more that says nvme2: failed to set APST feature (2)

I haven’t put anything on nvme2 yet, I haven’t even formatted it yet, just the primary drive (nvme0). So I’m not sure what could possibly be wrong with it yet.

    I think it’s worth looking into before pointing a finger at any particular OS. If your troubleshooting requires you to install Windows, go for it. My gut feeling is that the memory requires more voltage but that’s not based on anything but my own experience. Go through all the troubleshooting steps.
