Install OS

Hello,

I’m trying to install Garuda Linux on my system, but I’m encountering an issue. When I boot into the Live OS to start the installation process, it immediately drops into emergency mode.

My graphics card is an NVIDIA GTX 970, and I suspect the problem might be related to the drivers or GPU compatibility.

Could you please help me resolve this issue so I can proceed with the installation? If there are specific boot parameters or alternative ISOs (e.g., with open-source drivers) I should use, I’d appreciate any guidance.

Hello ,

Which Garuda iso you want try to install?

Please use Ventoy and choose Grub2. Boot with open driver not the nvidia driver. I used XFCE with LTS Kernel with the same GPU on my Laptop :wink:

Yes, use ventoy usb stick (grub2 option) + open driver (no propr. driver)

I’ve already tried both boot options from the menu, but unfortunately in both cases the system drops into emergency mode right after boot.

I downloaded this iso garuda-mokka-linux-zen-250308.iso

Would be nice if you can give us more Information about your System.

Can you boot into the liveiso and open the Terminal type in garuda-inxi . Mark the Text and copy and paste in here please. Use tree tiles ~ above and under the text or use </> symbol see on top message bar.

i never dried mokka on my Laptop . I had on my main PC installed the same mokka without issues.

the system does not start, and I cannot send images because I am a new user, but as soon as I can write what goes wrong

Please, no pictures from terminal, follow Duke187,

and we do not need pictures from one line error messages.

Also try Garuda Xfce live ISO.

Attention:
Check sha256sum on boot-stick.

The problem is “Warning: /dev/disk/by-label/GARUDA_MOKKA_BROADWING does not exist”

The same problem is for xfce

Did it get your HDD , SDD ? How is your Bios Settings. AHCI ?

The problem is “Warning: /dev/disk/by-label/GARUDA_MOKKA_BROADWING does not exist”

after a reboot? Did you removed the Pendrive after install?

Did you used whole Drive for the install?

the problem is that the live ISO does not start at all, it is the first time that this problem has happened to me as I have already installed many Linux OS, so secure boot disabled and boot with uefi

Since you haven’t commented on this yet… did you use Ventoy on the stick and is the Ventoy on it up to date?

Yes, i use ventoy in the latest version

Pls check the iso (or download again), use another usb stick (if possible).
Check that you have the latest bios for your mb.

I downloaded the OS but nothing to do, I have a gtx970 and an Intel core i7-4770k

Your gtx 970 + intel cpu is not the prob. (my mind)
Bios + correct settings / correct iso / usb / latest ventoy with the correct settings and no faulty hardware. Test on another usb port.
On my test system with gtx 960 i had no prob until i changed (now amd gpu)
All isos from 06.03/08.03 or community isos function well on my system. (with gtx960)
Perhaps you give answer of my question.
Latest bios ?
