Solved thanks to SirDice: the boot loader was defaulting to
---
I am trying to install 13.1 onto a desktop I built. Motherboard is an ASUS Prime Z590M-Plus w/ Intel 10900k, with a DisplayPort display. The BIOS recognizes the CPU, RAM, and drives correctly.
I'm booting from a USB stick. The boot loader comes up, I boot to multi-user mode and see a bit of the text scrolling by... then it stops at a screen with a little white box in the corner, and a mouse cursor. I see the mouse cursor whether I have a mouse plugged in or not. I can move the mouse cursor around. The white box is not a prompt, and I can't type. I'm expecting the text-based installer, so I'm not sure what's going on.
Any ideas how to get the installer to appear?
Here are some things I've tried, and the results:
- updating BIOS - no changed
-
-
console=serial
. I needed to switch it to console=video
and it installed and now boots fine.---
