[SOLVED] can't boot installer via USB on framework laptop

I'm using a Framework laptop, and when I select my USB key from the boot menu, I just see a quick flash of an underline cursor in the top left of the screen, and then I'm back to the boot menu. I've tried two different USB keys, and building the keys via both dd and Rufus with different options. Putting a Fedora image on the same USB key boots fine.

I'm using https://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/arch … x86_64.iso and it passed the gpg verification.

Anyone have any ideas?

Edit: I had to disable Secure Boot, now I'm off to the races. Maybe worth mentioning in the documentation?

What documentation are you using? Disabling Secure Boot is clearly mentioned in the Installation Guide. See the Note in this section: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Instal … nvironment

I have that page open, so I have no idea. Is there a way to delete a post in shame?
