Tumbleweed installation not starting

English Install/Boot/Login

I will keep this simple. I can get into the basic usb ui but trying to boot into anything on it gives me this error

Loading kernel …
Loading initial ramdisk …
error: …/…/grub-core/kern/mm.c:grub_memalign:548:out of memory.

I have only found one other instance of this happening to anyone being here

but even once they fixed it, I am not really sure how. What i do know is they somehow got an older version of the kernel from advanced recovery (Extra notes: I have 32 gigs of ram so I doubt it is a direct ram problem. Also they were using slowroll not tumbleweed)

  • which ISO?
  • checksum of ISO checked?
  • how/with which tools did you create the USB stick?
  • CSM/legacy mode enabled in BIOS?

I am just using the tumbleweed iso from a couple weeks ago

I have checked the checksum it fully matches

(Might be part of the problem) I used ventoy

My bios does not even support legacy

This is the issue. Use dd or a supported tool to dump the image to the USB drive. The issue will magically dissappear.

Ventoy is NOT supported nor recommended with openSUSE, as it breaks the installation image.

Okay I will try I hope that fixes it

Good news and Bad news using dd did get me further but the internet does not seem to work in it

first I got this error when trying to select the url
DHCP configuration failed

then I went to network setup, for my network device I selected
Intel Ice Lake-LP PCH CHVI Wifi (null)
(Note: I just realized it said (null) that is probably the problem)
Which caused this
No network device found. Load a network module first

Is this the offline image or network image?

This is the network image
(I am now installing the offline as that would make this easier I assume)
