initramfs unpacking failed
wanted to finally try to switch to linux for my gaming desktop and thought i might try the hot new stuff. Unfortunately that ended before it began: at the installation process lmao. I recon it might have something to to with how i prep the USB stick?
My problem:
what i did:
what i tried so far:
Any Ideas? :S
My problem:
boot to USB
select Install bazzite from grub menu
"initramfs unpacking failed: XZ compressed data is corrupt" shows for a second
KERNEL PANIC! VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
what i did:
from my laptop that is running debian 13:
went to bazzite website
clicked download
chose "Desktop, AMD 4xx+ GPU, KDE Plasma, traditional desktop experience"
downloaded iso
plugged in USB (did NOT mount it)
ran: sudo dd if=~/Downloads/bazzite-stable-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M status=progress oflag=sync
where /dev/sdb is my usb stick
waited to finish
unplugged USB from latop
tried running the installer on my main pc
what i tried so far:
disable secure boot
disable TPM
compared checksum with sha256sum tool and the checksum file provided on the bazzite website (was OK)
reflashing with "cp" did not even create a bootable stick (at least not efi bootable with CSM i always landed in grub shell)
Any Ideas? :S
