If the USB has enough storage, would it be possible for you to do a kernel bisection?
First, find the last -rc kernel works and the first -rc kernel doesn’t work from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ Then, $ sudo apt build-dep linux $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git $ cd linux $ git bisect start $ git bisect good $(the working version you found) $ git bisect bad $(the non-working version found) $ make localmodconfig $ make -j`nproc` deb-pkg Install the newly built kernel, then reboot with it. If it still have the same issue, $ git bisect bad Otherwise, $ git bisect good Repeat to "make -j`nproc` deb-pkg" until you find the offending commit. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1878726 Title: Live USB Installer not working Samsung Notebook 9 Pro 15" Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Live USB made from ubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64 fails to boot.
