      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.

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

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

        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?

            Are you getting a

            grub>>
            

            prompt, or a normal shell? If you're into a normal shell, it's gotten past boot, but is not getting into the installer from busybox.

              20+ minutes per boot test, sadly.

                Dang. Are you sure something isn't wrong with the thing?

                  Seems fine with Windows 10

                    Getting OpenSuse Tumbleweed downloaded so that I can test with a totally different installer.

                      @scottalanmiller -- If you get the flashing screen issue, that's a problem that is resolved by doing updates.

                        Flashing screen? It doesn't even load the OS yet. We are a long way from worrying about a flashing screen.

                          Even on Tumbleweed?

                            Tumbleweed failed, working on a fresh attempt.

                                          I wonder if it is related to this

                                          https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Realtek_8169_driver_problem

                                          Could it be the network drivers hanging it all up? Perhaps disable the NIC in the bios and see if you're able to get past that?
