Looks like this combo (I suspect the main culprit is the motherboard) is doing everything in its power to avoid running linux. Might be that the issue is triggered by any of the* previous steps I've done. Getting here was painful, and I wanted to document it somewhere in case another poor soul tries to spend 10h+ trying to walk the same path. <details> <summary>Detailed steps</summary> After trying several USB sticks, flashing tools, and distros (Pop, Ubuntu and Mint) I could not boot into any live USB. I tried the usuals - Disable secure boot - Delete any stored keys - Disable TPM - Correct boot order - "nomodeset" parameted on grub - etc. Nothing would work. I'd get a black screen and a the system completely hanged in the "dreaded blackscreen" in the best case scenario, and the same plus all the fans in my righ going full blast in the worse. Finally what did the trick for me was setting `acpi=off` as a boot parameter in grub (press 'e' when the grub menu shows and add it right before the three dashes ---) Now I could get past the "black screen of death". Since Pop was my original target (mint and ubuntu I've tried, just to see if the issue was exclusive to this distro) I tried to install "Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS Beta with NVIDIA" This didn't work, even with `nomodeset`, after all the loading was finished I got a blinking cursor. Looks like the graphics where gone and the GUI won't launch. I've tried to ctrl+alt+F2 to open a terminal and investigate, but every few seconds, the system will switch back to the main one with the bliking cursor, not allowing me to run any sort of commad to gather more intel. I've switched the plan to "Let's try Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS Beta, and install the drivers later". This time I could get into the live USB and install as usual. There was a problem though, in order to boot I need `acpi=off` and Pop!_OS is using systemd-boot. Now booting will trigger the black screen, while my CPU fans tried to be the helicopted they always knew they could be. To fix this, I had to boot again into the live USB with the `acpi=off` trick, follow some of the steps in https://support.system76.com/articles/bootloader/ and https://support.system76.com/articles/login-from-live-disk/ ```console sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p3 /mnt sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot/efi for i in dev dev/pts proc sys run; do sudo mount -R /$i /mnt/$i; done sudo chroot /mnt ``` Followed by ```console sudo kernelstub -a acpi=off ``` After this I got a self-bootable system... with a terrible resolution for my ultrawide monitor This step is extra, but worth documenting. My wired network would very slow (100Mbps) by default on boot. In my case the solution was to disable IPv6 on the interface, and change the cable to a different socket on my mikrotik router. For some reason the "FAST ETHERNET" labled sockets (ETH6 to ETH10 in the router), are not able to negotiate 1000Mbps (although it was working on Win10) but the ones labled as "GIGABIT ETHERNET" do. </details> I had to install the non-nvidia version of Pop!_OS. Please read the above section for completeness if you'd like. Now to the problem at hand. I'm trying to install the nvidia drivers on my OS. This error happens regardless of the version of the package chosen and version. ```console sudo apt install nvidia-driver-550 sudo apt install nvidia-driver-550-server sudo apt install nvidia-driver-550-open ``` All will trigger the same error ```console Building initial module for 6.16.3-76061603-generic ERROR (dkms apport): kernel package linux-headers-6.16.3-76061603-generic is not supported Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 6.16.3-76061603-generic (x86_64) Consult /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/550.67/build/make.log for more information. dpkg: error processing package nvidia-dkms-550 (--configure): installed nvidia-dkms-550 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 10 Setting up libnvidia-encode-550:amd64 (550.67-0ubuntu3) ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of nvidia-driver-550: nvidia-driver-550 depends on nvidia-dkms-550 (<= 550.67-1); however: Package nvidia-dkms-550 is not configured yet. nvidia-driver-550 depends on nvidia-dkms-550 (>= 550.67); however: Package nvidia-dkms-550 is not configured yet. dpkg: error processing package nvidia-driver-550 (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure. ``` I've also tried with drivers 535 and 530. ```console sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade ``` Was done, before trying any install. No more modern versions of the driver (570 or 580) appear listed Running ouf of ideas. Any suggestions will be welcome

Will mark as solved
