Why is USB Installer hanging after booting (Slak64-current)?
by bigfoot cascadia from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4WK1K)
Hey there. I just got an Lenovo Carbon X1 6th Gen (NOS) with 16 GB RAM and 512
Gb SSD. It has Windows 10 preinstalled which I intend on removing and
having a pure Slackware64 15.0 (5.4.2 kernel) OS. I made a USB Install Stick
frm the 12 Dec 2019 Slackware64-current tree using usbimg2isk.sh script in the
usb-and-pxe-installers directory in the current tree. Here is screen print of
usnimg2disk.sh run:

Once the install stick was prepared, I then turned off Seceure Boot in UEFI
Settings and set USB Drive as first choice of Boot devices. Here are the
results of the machine boots:

At this point, the system hangs. Even after waiting 5 minutes. The only option
available at this time is to reboot through Ctl+Alt+Del or Power cycle.
I think it might be a UEFI Settting I'm oblivious to though I'm not
knowledgable about. Can any one point me in the direction of resolution? I'd
greatly appreciate it.
