Description
Installing SteamOS on a Dell T5810 (Xeon E5-1650 V4, 32GB RAM, RX 6800XT, NVMe) -- it reboots during the install. Attached is a photo of where it reboots every time. I spent some time with AI and exploring some solutions, but no joy. Removing the NVMe (no drives at all) results in the same behavior, so I don't think it is the SSD. I can run Bazzite on the machine just fine, BTW. Secure boot is off, legacy boot is off. Tried with Intel VT support on/off.
I have removed all other drives and USB peripherals, except the internal Blu-ray drive. I switched from my DisplayPort LG UW to a standard HDMI 1080p display. Not sure what else to try.
