It wont let me install garuda dragonized gaming on my acer nitro an515-58 with rtx 4050 and i7-12650h. it blackscreens without ventoy and gives the error “one or more files are corrupt” and blackscreens.
Edit: it boots after installed but gets stuck at loading initial ramdisk
also I am using Dr460nized Gaming 2025.
Think on it..default without garuda-inxi …how to help ?
But, perhaps you have not the correct settings inside bios for garuda linux.
Think on secureboot + fastboot disabled.
Perhaps the live *.iso isn´t ok. Pls check this.
Disconnect all other stuff bluetooth/usb (my mind)
Use usb stick with ventoy boot option are grub2 + no prop. driver.
Then install the system → reboot → update → reboot → if possible post then your inxi
If this not help, pls search here inside the forum, you will find some info about your problem.
(edit) oh so no nvidia
also how do i share garuda-inxi
(Edit) Found out how. I’m gonna share inxi when I install
not inside ventoy
Make a bootable usb stick with ventoy → copy the iso to the stick → boot live iso → use option grub2 + open source driver and then ?
I’m installing with no proprietary and it’s at 24 percent. Will keep updated.
I got the inxi early from it being in usb mode

It now boots but how do I go about Nvidia
not like this..sorry.. if you open a thread pls read the how-to for posting garuda-inxi.
After rebooting, post the FULL output of garuda-inxi in the body of the post (not linked externally, or collapsed with the “hide details” feature)
Format terminal output (including your garuda-inxi) as a code block by clicking the preformatted text button (</>) , or put three tildes (~) above and below the text
Without garuda-inxi this request will be moved to 412 Precondition Failed
7 posts were split to a new topic: How do I install the nvidia drivers?
@htmlroot: Your first problem was a black screen when booting the live.iso, then you changed the topic title and edited the startpost with a second problem. Now it’s about a third issue.
Your two original boot issues have been solved, so I have moved the posts with your third issue to a new topic. ONE issue per topic please.
