I'm having trouble installing Zorin OS on a Hp Pavillion system with window 11 (dual boot). During the installation using a flashdrive and selecting Install Os / Install Os (safe Graphics) the screen freezes with the Zorin and HP logo.
What i have tried so far is :
-Disable secure boot on Bios
-DIsable fast boot on Windows
-Add nosetmode to linux
Is there any other thing I should be looking to change?
I suspect you meant nomodeset you could also try acpi=off
I assume you are using the e key from the menu that has the safe graphics etc options to edit the code
Those commands added after quiet splash got my HP envy machine past the hang
Welcome to the Forum!
Does Your BIOS run in UEFI or Legacy Mode? What Tool did You choose to create the Bootstick? Did You checked the Checksum of the downloaded ISO? What are Your Hardware Specs?
This worked! However , I can't login.
Kernel panic! Error
So, were you successful in installing but it now gives you the kernel panic error when you try to boot for real (not from the boot stick)?
Did you try making the nomodeset and acpi changes to your grub file like you did to the menu that starts the live boot stick? For that grub I have found acpi=noirq is better than =off.
You can edit in terminal: sudo nano /etc/default/grub then after making any changes ctl-o to overwrite and ctl-x to exit the editor
I never encountered the kernel panic error error but I do know there are several threads about it, could you try an older kernel through the advanced options menu entry and see if that makes any difference. If not, probably start a new thread justfor this problem.
This probably means that the hardware you are using needs ACPI enabled in order for the kernel to have a usable interrupt controller.
Try instead:
acpi_osi=linux
noapic
Or
acpi=noirq
That way, the interrupt controller is enabled, the kernel should be able to operate on the hardware, but it is still able to route interrupts.
