Can't boot / install "black screen"

Hi,

I want to ask someone help...
I try to install Linux Garuda on my machine using a seperate SSD but everytime i try to boot on Garuda i choose Garuda with Nvidia Drivers and then i have a black screen for like hours...

Pretty sure something is wrong with my BIOS config but can't find what...
I desactivated the Secure Boot and the Fast Boot but nothing change at all.
The BIOS is in UEFI mode but even in LEGACY + UEFI that doesn't change anything.

My hardware is :
MotherBoard : MSI MPG Z790 Carbon Wifi
CPU : Intel I9 13900K
Ram : Kingston Fury Beast 2 X 16GB (32Go) at 5600 MHz in DDR5
Graphic Card : Nvidia 4090
Storage : 3 Nvme and 1 SSD

Thank's by advance to everyone by advance

Boot with free driver. Install nvidia later.

4090 is quite new?

With the free driver i get :

Starting systemd-udevd version 253.**** (it's really fast like 1 second)
My keybord and mouse flash for a second
A black screen with a fixe _

Nothing change in 10 minutes

Did you try other DE like Xfce?
Xfce uses other kernel.

On black screen, you can use TTY (terminal)?
Ctrl+Alt+F3 (F1-F7)

This may be a completely unrelated item but I had this problem with Garuda, and oddly only Garuda, and the issue was...a bad USB flash. I reflashed and then booted and everything worked.

Sorry for the delay...

So i try to reboot on Xubuntu but last time i choose install instead of try...
When i choose try it doesn't work.

I try to Dual Boot with Windows but i have a special SSD just for Linux.

I also try another USB stick and recreate the all USB boot key but nothing change at all...

In a VM i have no issue with Garuda.

Have you tried booting with the free drivers?

Finally some news !
I took my HDMI and put it in my Motherboard directly and then it « works »

I’m stuck with « Finished LiveMedia Keyring setup

Nothing after that…
Some idea’s ?

Is this still referred to booting with proprietary drivers or free drivers (which would be preferrable in case of initial booting troubles)?

I try both, proprietary drivers and free drivers... With free drivers i got some line in addition but it's still stuck on the last line.
But it's better than nothing for the moment :slight_smile:

Hello !

I finally manage to get some texte on my screen but I’m still stuck…

The 3 last lines are :slight_smile:

  • Ok / Started Dekstop Display Manager
  • Ok / Reached target Graphical interface
  • Ok / Finished LiveMedia Keyring setup

And then nothing more… just stuck.

I try this with both free and Nvidia drivers but the issue still the same.

I also manage to use : Garuda-inxi


Could this be the same issue as yours?

Unfortunately it's still unsolved and the last comment with a "fix" was "deactivating the integrated graphics in the BIOS" which probably you don't have. Give a look at the BIOS anyway...
PS: I merged your other post into this one. Please do not cross-post.

I was able to install Ubuntu and Debian without any problem.
I updated my BIOS last night and disabled the "dual screen" display
I will try to take a screenshot of the option.

I have a 13900K so technically an integrated graphics processor but it's weird that I can now install other OS.

PS: sorry for the double post, I didn't find how to close this one knowing that the problem is not quite the same anymore.

No problem.
That Arch forum post seems to be really Arch-specific (and derivatives, of course), that's why it works on Debian-based systems.
Good luck!
