Hello....I don't know where to start here. I'm not new to Debian, been using it exclusively since Sarge in 2005, and installed it to literally dozens of desktops and laptops over the years, but this thing is kicking my butt.
Specs:
Asus Prime B450M-A2 mainboard
AMD Ryzen 5 4500 CPU
Radeon HD 5450 video card.
500Gig SSD and 1TB hardrive.
I can install Windows 10 without issue, but putting the Debian USB stick in, it boots into the initial screen where you pick the install method just fine, then, whatever is selected, it immediately starts throwing errors....screen after screen after screen of errors. It can't find the hard drives, it can't see, it can't find anything. After about 10 screens of complaints about everything from the mileage of my truck to the price of eggs in China, it finally shows the first install screen.....except it's frozen. I tried searching the forum for instances of this mainboard, but got nothing. A broader search also turned up nothing pertinent. Maybe I have to select some parameter during the install?
Things I tried:
Updated BIOS
Formatted USB drive as both MBR and the other one, which I don't recall ATM.
Turned off the trusted computing function in the BIOS
Cursed.
Wept.
Finally gave up and asked for help.
