Error occurred while trying to install Red Hat on the Intel N100 MiniPC.
Hello. Could someone in the community confirm if this problem has been encountered before? I recently purchased a MiniPC equipped with an N100 Intel processor. I installed an 8GB DDR4 memory and a 256GB NVMe Intel SSD, but installation of RedHat-like Linux is causing major difficulties. I've tried Rocky 9.4 and Alma 9.4, both resulted in the same failure. - It functions correctly during installation (Rocky or Alma); - Works fine from the workstation live environment (Rocky); - Stops immediately after reboot, whether using the live image or the installation image on the NVMe SSD; - Runs perfectly on Windows 11 with all drivers and updates; - Functions smoothly with the latest Debian installed in the NVMe SSD; - Memtest86+ runs for extended periods without issues; BIOS defaults are active. At this stage (as shown in the photo), it isn't fully locked, but I can't access a shell. Occasionally the GUI login screen appears and disappears to text mode, showing errors (only three lines visible). I've also tried installing without using the GUI, which produced similar results. Any suggestions? Thanks.
It seems NVMe drivers might be experiencing issues. Check the BIOS for any relevant settings or consider using USB SSD/HDD as a temporary fix.
Share a boot screen so we can see the content clearly, not just the dimensions or error messages.
Hello. Thank you for your feedback and ideas. It seems there might be a compatibility issue between this Intel NVMe (SSDPEKKF256G7H) and RedHat Like Linux, possibly due to drivers. I tried installing Rocky on the same NVMe in an ATX PC with an AMD 3600 CPU, but the outcome was identical. I plan to test another NVMe later. Update: Installation succeeded on a different NVMe SSD. Appreciate your support.
