I downloaded latest Tumbleweed iso and tried to install it on new HDD from DVD. I tried a normal install, but it stops with a green bar on the bottom of the screen. Esc gives the message ‘loading basic drivers’, Alt F4 gives info about the drives, Alt F3 about the system and it end with ‘insmod error:1’
I tried Safe mode, NO ACPI, legacy mode, UEFI, different kernel parameters:
nomodeset
kernel parameters I use to boot current Tumbleweed installation (on old HDD): “amd_iommu=on iommu=pt”
etc - nothing work.

What happened with the installer recent time?! I was able to re-install Tumbleweed on the same hardware configuration (only new HDD added: ATA WDC WD101KFBX-68) few times successfully few months ago. Why it fails now?!
I’m going to hazard a wild guess that a new kernel might support slightly different drivers, but I’d be surprised that anyone might be affected by something like that.
Recommend…
Try again. Installs will often (well, not that often but a significant number of times) fail for unknown reasons.
Make sure the disk is “factory” – ie clean of all partitions. Any SSDs should also have thier traps cleared and be writable.
If repeated installs fail, then maybe try a LEAP? Is there a special reason why you’d want to install TW over LEAP?
If you feel the need to troubleshoot this (but as I suggested, consider the possibly more likely idea it’s a transient issue), the following describes how to recover logs from a failed install
Yes, disk was factory. But it even does not start UI install to create or clean the disk. One it started but USB keyborad and mouse were not working. I installed Neon Linux there, installed successfully, started successfully but hangs after user login.
Will try Leap. In TW like newest soft, for example KDE, etc.
Glad you found your problem.
Yes, I’ve been very concerned for a very long time of our increasing dependence on USB… which unlike traditional serial ports which supported single devices, USB is pretty darn complex supporting numerous devices simultaneously through a single or few hubs (and you might have to actually open up the box to see what ports are connected to what hub), and teh possibility some devices can be configured as communications or storage devices but not both at the same time or guaranteed to be correct when needed.
