Tumbleweed install usb not booting -> severe security issue

[suse_paul]

when I try to boot from a Tmbleweed install USB stick (or live usb) it just shows a message that there is some severe security issue.
(Lenovo legion laptop)

I can boot a Leap 15.5 USB stick, but a Leap Live USB just shows a grub prompt.
Leap 15.5 is running.

Is there anything I can do to boot and install tumbleweed?

You could start with a picture of the “severe security issue”…

I’ve got a Lenovo Legion laptop myself and am currently on a Tumbleweed LiveCD.

Did you make the Leap LiveCD and Tumbleweed LiveCD the same way you did the working Leap 15.5 one?
You can make it to GRUB on the LiveCDs, but no further?

I prepared all the USB sticks the same way via dd.

Tumleweed install on first laptop:

same USB on second laptop:

the latter message appears as well, if I try to boot any LIVE USB on the first laptop.

Is this what is described in Bug 1209985 ?

If that’s the problem you are seeing, then you will need to disable secure-boot in your BIOS to boot this.

(added): Ah, I see your image. Yes, it is as I suspected. Disable secure-boot in your BIOS, at least for now. That should get you going.

after disabling secure boot the the Tumbleweed install didn’t produce the security message, but stopped with the grub prompt (see second picture above)

@suse_paul

stopped with the grub prompt

What is output of

set

in this prompt?

[suse_paul]

for convenience, this is the output on the second laptop

(hd0) does not sound right. Show output of

ls

openSUSE USB stick is supposed to have two partitions - partition 1 being ESP (FAT) and partition 2 covers the ISO image. How did you create this USB stick exactly? Copy and paste the complete commands.

[suse_paul]

dd if=~/Downloads/openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20240418-Media.iso of=/dev/sdb1 bs=4M status=progress && sync

the sdb1 should be just sdb???

[arvidjaar]

@suse_paul

of=/dev/sdb1

That is wrong. You need to use the whole disk.
