Your system information

  • Steam client version: SteamOS ISO
  • SteamOS version: BETA
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] NO, does not boot to a usable state
  • Opted into SteamOS beta?: [Yes/No] No, does not boot to a usable state
  • Have you checked for updates in Settings > System?: [Yes/No] No, see above

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Installing SteamOS from an ISO i downloaded, boots fine installs, then goes places i do not understand to arrive at a screen just after clonezilla did something.

Reboot from there results in a sluggish system stuck at a darkish screen with the steam logo. Some success bypassing this booting with the text boot kernel parameter.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Everytime i install Steam OS
  2. stuck, black screen
  3. big cursor, nothing happens

---- what may improve steamOS perception and delivery

  • Autobuild the image for USB and ISO.
  • Compile with a more recent kernel.
  • Include the latest drivers for AMD and NVIDIA, these drivers are sensitive to the kernel version.
  • With such a tightly controlled image as steamOS it should be relatively easy and manageable.
  • Offer more control over the boot process.
  • boot with nomodeset to install
  • i suggested Debian many years ago, i would suggest Arch today.
