    No errors around ‘Generating initramfs’ ?

    How long did you let it sit there?

    40Gb partition

    What filesystem? So just a single / partition?

    Have you tried it multiple times?

    installation works fine

    So the installation completes? And you’re trying to boot into the new OS? I don’t understand when you’re seeing this error if the installation completes?

      i let it sit there for about 25 mins how long should it normally be taking? isnt initramfs a vey basic component this is strange since everything else takes only up to 5mins to install

      and by the installation is fine I mean up until that step everything has been working fine. installing software/bootloadet
