I am on an asus laptop (TUF F15 FX506HC)
specs ->16gb ddr4, rtx3050m, 2 nvme’s (there’s intel SMART in bios), i5-11400H.
main → manjaro
What happens?
I boot into the installer, start installation (w/ verbose) and it first throws timeout error of udev system service loading and after its timeout (about 3 mins.) it continues and then gets stuck at :
nvme nvme0: I/O # QID 0 timeout, completion polled
where # is random numbers.
this isn’t a dupe thread as there is another one with similar problem but not the same.
What else I tried?
Disabling HT (HyperThreading)
Disable Secure boot
Disable SMART storage intel thing
All options of installation (incl. rescue) - all had the same problem.
tried from 4 diff. usb softwares → popsicle, mediawriter, woeusb, dd
also after some time of that problem, when I go into diff. users - ctrl+alt+{1,2,3,…}, it alternates b/w the verbose terminal screen and the blue-gray screen with 3 dots and nothing else (gnome loading thing) but still does nothing after 30+ mins except for tell me “Privacy ain’t a thing for you” on my face.
Help, I don’t like 3 letter agencies.
