It seems (and this is also the opinion of other people I asked) that a new sort of BIOS is coming out. This new BIOS seems to have drastical internal changes.
Do you mean UEFI? UEFI is a pain.
I also saw on the systems where I had lots of troubles (but was able to boot from the stick) that a lot of errors was shown. All of them related to BIOS tables that were missing and/or not understood (I already mentioned that).
IME it is often necessary to update the firmware on a machine -- all kinds -- to successfully install Linux. Firmware is, by and large, *only* tested with Windows. Sad but true.
So it seems that a new ISO with kernel 4.19 everywhere, should fix most of this troubles.
For now. But in another few months it would be broken again when some unforeseen new firmware change comes along. -- Liam Proven - Technical Writer, SUSE Linux s.r.o.
