Garuda Install Freeze

Hi,

I wanted to give Garuda a try but I run into following issue: PC always freezes during installation.
Exactly on 79% ( Configure Hardware).

My system:

MB: H410M-PRO
16GB RAM
Nvidea GT730 video card
Broadcom Wifi/BT card
500GB HD

What I tried:

  • Different Image
  • Different USB

I use Etcher to flash the image.

Any help/ advice will be appreciated

Check sha sum also and try Ventoy too.
And wait up to 5-10 minutes mhwd need some time.

Thanks for rely.

When it freezes. It stays that way. I have to shut down the PC.

When should I type inxi -Fza ? When in Live Mode?

Start the Installation using the terminal (calamares) and post the output. This will provide more information about where the Installation stalls.

If you include terminal outputs in your post please use the proper output format in your post. Using "~" 3 times above and "~" 3 times below the text block will provide a readable, raw look.

Ok, thanks! It started in calamares mode.

Now it froze again, so I cannot copy the output but is is something with Broadcom card.
Last lines say:
modprobe: FATAL: Module bcm43xx and brcm80211 not found

Successfully installed network-broadcom-wl

That is where it freezes

Any ideas?

@tbg just an idea?

Yes, this happens because of Broadcom with some adapters. It's the Broadcom wifi halting the install. It needs to be removed from the calamares install script for the update to proceed. I forget which line needs to be edited out for the install to proceed.

Perhaps the user could try turning off wifi at the bios level (if possible) and try an offline install.

Ok, I'll try that.

Is Broadcom bad card of something? Normally I need it for Wireless connection...
Is it known to mess up the system?

Try to give a look also at this one maybe

Um, where do I need to go to edit this config?
While in Live Mode?

I thought that file was available in the USB...

Ok, which lines should I remove in main.py ?

Search for a part of that string.
Or they say
near the bottom of the file, in the run(self) method of the MhwdController class.

If it doesn't work, look also at the solution post.
But the one i linked was referenced in another post

Ok, removing those lines in run(self) method solved the issue!

Install complete.

But now I do not see my wireless connection. Only wired.

Do you know how to fix that?

Please, open new topic, this one is solved :slight_smile:
