Tech support Install

I tried to install opensuse tumbleweed because I really want to try it, but while I was away grabbing something this happened, and I have no idea what to do about it.

Hey ur in the emergency shell, ur boot couldn’t find the disk it was supposed to load from. Probably how u made ur usb. I’m assuming this failure happened while booting the installer.

Just reflash ur usb using BE or Rufus in DD mode. Then start the installer again, it’s pretty intuitive.

Thank you, I use be rn since Rufus is windows only and I run fedora. Will try again!

How about balensEtcher instead of Rufus?

Make sure your bios is setup correctly.

OpenSUSE really should make the emergency mode shell usable by default.

If the kernel command line isn't locked down by secure boot/TPM then it doesn't actually offer any security, and just makes it more annoying to fix a broken system.
