      Could you check oldfred's post (#7) and the following post #9? Looks like ASUS ROG is know for needing a kernel parameter, pci=nomsi.

        Testing this one now.

          Start up is still painfully slow. It'll be a bit before I know if this worked or not.

            Looks like something is waiting for timeout

              Sort of, but it just keeps moving as well.

                    You get to a non-X login prompt? I thought your system is freezing while loading kernel modules 😉

                      No, it gets to a useless prompt. A prompt means that it has failed. It is supposed to drop to a live desktop that allows for doing installs.

                        Ah ok, assumed something else when I had a look at the picture you posted above. Sorry, can't help here - you are probably much more proficient with desktops on Linux.

                          @scottalanmiller how about trying this. Found it in ask Ubuntu:

                          I carried out a fresh install of 16.04 on my ASUS GL552VW.

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

                          nouveau.modeset=0
                          

                          To stop Nouveau from taking over.

                          Once I'd installed the nVidia 361.42 drivers, through the Additional Drivers tab in Software Updater, I had to disable Secure Boot. (Secure boot stops unsigned kernel modules loading)

                          With those settings, everything works. Touchpad, Skylake support, nVidia graphics @ 1920x1080, Wifi, Bluetooth, keyboard backlight.

                          Installation of 16.04 is much less hassle than previous versions.

                            I've moved on from that issue 🙂 Safe mode seems to bypass it.

                                In theory, this is 16.04 under the hood.

                                  That's more than works under Windows 10!

                                        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.
