Steps To ReproduceMade bootable USB out of AlmaLinux-8.3-rc-1-x86_64-dvd1.iso file using 2 alternative software - first tried it through Ventoy and on failing, used Rufus to make bootable USB using same above iso. This was done Just to confirm that it is not a problem of bootable USB software. OS fails to boot either in normal or in rescue mode. Request to resolve before stable version is out.

Centos8 - stream - no problems faced in booting through USB and installing on above hardware profile. Category: Please change to Almalinux - Release instead of Others. Error regretted.

Update: Tried again. After taking more than 10 minutes on the above system, USB booted. Isn't is taking too long for a boot task? CENTOS8 - stream and Oracle 8.3 - both were tried on this same system - They are booting instantly from USB. Some driver issue - probably in this RC1? Please look into.

Please close this issue. There seems to be a hardware issue - May be too old hardware - Tried again to boot CENTOS8-Stream from USB. It is also taking time before installation screen appears. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for the efforts. Best regards and wishes for success to the stable version of almalinux 8.3. I will install it on a better hardware configuration.
