      The only additional GRUB parameters I entered (for installation and normal boot) were:

      nouveau.modeset=0
      

      Testing now. Did you install from DVD or USB Stick?

        Still attempting that latest book. Nearly fifteen minutes of booting. Insane number of NMI Watchdog errors. Not sure if it is moving forward or not.

          I know this likely isn't what you want to do, but why not just create a bootable / writable live USB (using a microusb) and chose to boot from that when needed?

            That's where we are stuck. We can't get one of those to work. That's what this thread is trying to solve.

              Oh! I thought you were stuck trying to install to the SSD or Spinner, not having issues booting from USB.

                You have to boot from USB or DVD to do an install. But they won't boot.

                  OK, now I understand a bit more clearly, I thought it was booting, but failing to install to the hardware. But it won't even boot.

                    Did you check the MD5 hash to make sure it matches?

                      as this is a laptop the uefi/bios options might be limited, but are you able to change the sata mode to/from ide/ahci? what about disabling or enabling legacy usb support? Not even sure those are options anymore in uefi.

                        No, but I'm using a lot of different images and they are all the same.

                          Not, doesn't let me change that.

                            Have you tried this grub kernel parameter?

                            modprobe.blacklist=nouveau i915.preliminary_hw_support=1

                                I'll try installing Mint to USB from my RoG tonight and see how it goes.

                                  No luck there. Same basic issues.

                                    Are you able to see the errors and things while it is booting? Not trying to teach you linux, but if you hit F12 while Mint is booting it shows you all its messages, services starting, driver detection all that, instead of a useless(in this case at least) Mint logo.

                                      F12 doesn't work on Mint on this laptop during boot, believe it or not. One more pain in the process.

                                          @scottalanmiller are you following a guide or just doing this willy nilly?

                                            For a useful suggestion - did the drive come partitioned? Perhaps blow it away with DD, at least a GB or two
