      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

                                  Here's a guide @scottalanmiller

                                  🙂

                                    Reason I ask is because you need to disable secure boot control and pxe oprom while enabling CSM. I don't want to assume you didnt, but outside of this I have no idea what would cause what you are running into.

                                      Following a guide? There is no guide for installing to Asus ROG. If there was, I'd be following it. Like any OS install, you just try and see what fails.

                                        People using Asus ROG that claim to have it working say the opposite. There is no consensus.

                                          Yes, but we aren't close to needing to write to the drive yet, we can't boot the kernel. How do we run DD when you can't boot yet?

                                            @scottalanmiller I can't vouch for them 😕 I'd try it.
