System only boots Win10 and OpenBSD; Can't Boot Linux | AMD X570 w/ Latest BIOS and AGESA
by zer0cell from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5A7JY)
Here's a video link to an attempted install of Arch Linux.
I have tried installing various Linux flavors (mostly Arch, but also Manjaro, Deepin, elementary, and pop!) on my new AMD build, but I'm unable to get past a few lines of kernel chatter after the bootloader. I have tried two different motherboards with everything else remaining the same, yet the problem persists.
Current system specs:
Code:CPU -> AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
MoBo -> Asus ROG Strix X570-I
RAM -> TEAM GROUP 2x8GB
GPU -> MSI Nvidia RTX 2070 SUPER Gaming XMy previous motherboard was a Colorful CVN-X570M. It was replaced due to a faulty USB Type-C port. I had hoped that would also fix the Linux boot issue but no dice.
My BIOS settings are as follows:
Finally, I don't know if the installer generates any persistent logs, so I've linked a slow-motion video at the top of the post that one may be able to scrub through to figure out what is happening. Let me know if there is a better way to do this please.
EDIT: So I ended up contacting Asus, just to be told that Linux is not officially supported. Unlike Colorful, who still hasn't responded to me since earlier this year. Would this be a kernel driver issue? Is my system, peripherals, or something else not supported by the kernel version I'm trying to install?

My BIOS settings are as follows:
- reset to factory defaults
- disable Secure Boot -> set to "Other OS"
- disable Fast Startup
- enable SVM
- enable NX
- enable XMP (I have tried w/o... I think)
- different USBs
- different Linux distributions
- different formatting methods (Rufus, Win32DiskImager)
- iPXE via NetBoot (just to see)
- OpenBSD
