I’m running the nvidia official version, i have a 4090.

journalctl -xe gives “failed to switch root: specificed switch root path /ssysroot doesnot seem to be on OS tree. os-release file is missing”

I’ve seen some mention to try rebooting into a different kernel. I have no idea how to do that. Everything I have seen suggests commands that do not exist in the emergency mode. and I can’t boot at all so I don’t konw what to do.

Please advice. I asked in the discord but no one even responded and I’m not sure where to get help with this distro

    I figured it out actually. it requires a /boot partition as well as a /boot/efi partition. I’ve installed 5-6 other distros and never had to make that partition so that’s what was tripping me up. I use manual partitioning for all my installs and decided i may try the replace partition option and noticed that it was trying to add that /boot partition to a different hard drive so I just manually created that partition and it was able to boot after install. 🐧

    Ventoy sounds like it could be perfect actually.

    Edit: Checked out ventoy. I don’t see much point to it aside from being able to use it to install multiple distros without having to run balena etcher or media writer every time you want to install a different distro.

    It may be useful for testing out desktop environments, but that’s about it. You only are able to try demo mode off of Ventoy. Still a cool tool

      I don’t think it requires two partitions, but efi must be fat32. Fedora prefers kernels going on a better filesystem and splits them.

        Huh. I did a 1024mb fat32 partition set as /boot/efi and flagged as boot. I did that at least 7 times. It only started working when I added the extra /boot partition
