I manage to find the issue, it was my USB drive. The machine is currently humming along with Fedora 42, I’m just now installing Nvidia drivers.

It turned out to be my crappy, no name USB. All OSes boot fine now, even 64-bit. I love when computer shit is simple.

Linux wins the day, viva la Tux!

All checked but I am going to try a different USB.

Original in as far as I can tell.
