Booting Ubuntu Studio sticks at different points (HP Pavilion Desktop PC)

I am trying to boot into Ubuntu Studio 20.4.3. I downloaded the Live ISO and put it onto a 32 GB EMTEC USB Stick with Rufus (GPT/UEFI) under Windows. I also checked the ISO File hashsum.

I have a HP Pavilion Desktop PC TP01-2xxx and I want to install Ubuntu Studio (when booting works) on the 512 GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD.

So I boot from the stick and select "Try Ubuntu w/o Installing" - and here I also deleted "quiet" and "splash" and get this info:

Begin ... casper-premount ... done done stdin: Invalid argument

My screen looks like this: https://herrvoelker.de/tmp/photo_2021-11-09_17-40-41.jpg

Edit 1: When I use the MBR/BIOS partition scheme in Rufus, I get a more complex error, which really looks frightening: https://herrvoelker.de/tmp/photo_2021-11-09_18-13-09.jpg

Edit 2: As Windows is still running on the 512 GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD - I think I can rule out that this is a hardware issue.

Edit 3: I used another USB Stick (SanDisk 16GB) and it seems to boot a bit further, but still sticks at some point:

Edit 4: When I then boot a second time from the new stick, it sticks again at the original point. So I can't even reproduce the same errors.

Lately the error message looked like this:

Edit 5: The USB port that I use seems to have an effect too.

Any ideas?

The first thing you should try is to use a different USB-stick.

@mook765: Thanks for the suggestion regarding another USB-stick. The boot process seems to go a bit further now (see Edit 3), but still does not complete.

I finally managed to boot into Ubuntu Studio - booting with "acpi=off" and "nomodeset" (and w/o quiet and splash of course).

Edit: to do "nomodeset" is not necessary, it will still boot, so the "acpi=off" is the important thing to do = turning off the power management functions of the computer.

Ubuntu also detects my 512 GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD, where I will now install Ubuntu Studio to. Hopefully the system will boot from SSD then - of course without "acpi=off".

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
