<p>You said you tried Linux Mint and it worked. However, it would help more to try something more Parabola-like.<br />For instance, did you tried some if these ISOs?:</p>
<ul>
<li>Parabola LXDE with OpenRC</li>
<li>Parabola with systemd</li>
<li>PureOS/Trisquel/Hyperbola or another free distro</li>
<li>Artix</li>
<li>Arch Linux</li>
</ul>
<p>Try them in that same order. If one of them works, then you don't need to test the rest.</p> Installation Media - Bug #2611: OpenRC CLI ISO freezes on boot with AMD ryzenhttps://labs.parabola.nu/issues/2611?journal_id=136992020-01-24T18:15:04ZMegver83megver83@parabola.nu

<p>This is not the result of a deep investigation, just collected some possibly useful info, but looks like it may need non-free firmware. Anyways, try other Parabola ISOs, if not, you could try Trisquel, PureOS or Hyperbola to see if your CPU works with a free distro.</p> Installation Media - Bug #2611: OpenRC CLI ISO freezes on boot with AMD ryzenhttps://labs.parabola.nu/issues/2611?journal_id=137002020-01-24T21:15:29ZNewUser69
<ul></ul><p>Tried parabola openrc with lxde. I will try systemd then one of the recommended distros. Won't be home for another 2 hours so I will send what happens when I get home.</p>
<p>Yes, that processor is mine.</p>
<p>*update: can't test until Sunday.</p> Installation Media - Bug #2611: OpenRC CLI ISO freezes on boot with AMD ryzenhttps://labs.parabola.nu/issues/2611?journal_id=137012020-01-26T05:46:55ZNewUser69
<ul></ul><p>I have just tested parabola on systemd and it boots just fine.</p>
<p>I don't know if it is a bug with this operating system or just one with openrc in general.</p> Installation Media - Bug #2611: OpenRC CLI ISO freezes on boot with AMD ryzenhttps://labs.parabola.nu/issues/2611?journal_id=137022020-01-26T13:35:52ZMegver83megver83@parabola.nu
<ul></ul><p>You should then try an older OpenRC ISO <a class="external" href="https://repo.parabola.nu/iso/">https://repo.parabola.nu/iso/</a> (try one from last year)</p>
<p>If it happens the same, then try Artix to confirm if it's an OpenRC thing</p> Installation Media - Bug #2611: OpenRC CLI ISO freezes on boot with AMD ryzenhttps://labs.parabola.nu/issues/2611?journal_id=137032020-01-27T02:54:36ZNewUser69
<ul></ul><p>Just tested an older iso from march of 2019. It froze also. I am now going to test artix linux.</p>
<p>Update: Artix was a success when starting. I believe this concludes the testing but I am available to test if you want me to test more.</p>
