Can't install any distro
Super weird, but I have a pair of SSD drives, had been installing various distros on my second drive to test them on my system for a few weeks now. During that time, I had upgraded Windows to 24H2...had issues, so I formatted the machine, wiped all the partitions (both drives), and reinstalled Windows 23H2 on my primary. All was good with the Windows install, but when I tried to install Bazzite again, I get an out of error warning.
error: ../../grub-core/kern/mm.c:552:of of memory.
I thought it was an issue with my Ventoy, or my ISO, but I am getting a similar error across all my distro install attempts. I even redownloaded and reinstalled Ventoy and all the ISO's, no luck. (even Linux Mint)
I am wondering if there is something that hosed my drive partitions when I reinstalled?
I have tried everything I can think of (Fast Boot on/off, UEFI on/off, Secure Boot on/off). I just tried CachyOS and Nobara and they died almost instantly after I selected the install button from grub. (I can get the other errors if it helps, but I just wanted to get Bazzite installed, I liked that best)
Anyway, I am only a couple weeks into learning Linux, and generally pretty good at troubleshooting, but this has me stumped. I searched the help threads here and saw one with a similar issue that had fixed it by disabling a Thunderbolt setting. I tried that, but it didn't work.
