Description

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
The Installer seems to run into some issue.
Which looks like something went wrong. Stays on CLI the whole time and no GUI loads.
I know the hardware is fine since I test various others distros on it.
I checked the USB (used a different one too), flashing with Balena or the provided command.
I could not locate any logs on the USB. I hope there are some since it says "Recorded Failures"
I have reviewed footage of the crash and it looks like a Kernel Panic.
So I made a video and attached a picture of the issue.
Steps for reproducing this issue:
- Boot from USB with Secure boot disabled into Partition one (CSM/Legacy Support is disabled).
- Welcome to SteamOS loads on CLI -> it goes through various things.
- At some point it dumps a bunch of text looks like a lot of HEX => Reboots PC and repeats the process.
- SteamOS Bootscreen mentions recorded failures after multiple tries.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the USB boot on the listed Gigabyte B760 DS3H, i5-14500, and RX 5700 XT hardware with Secure Boot disabled, following the four reported steps. Inspect the CLI output, kernel-panic evidence, and SteamOS "Recorded Failures" information; done means identifying the cause of the boot loop or documenting the missing details needed to proceed.
