    Good evening,

    I've tried asking this on stack exchange with no results, so I figure I'd ask here. Every time I try to install, I get a black screen with the following text:

    elementary OS Next elementary tty1

    elementary login: [ 62.809801] iwlwifi 000:a6:00.0: Timeout waiting for PVNM load!
    [ 62.809863] iwlwifi 000:a6:00.0: Failed to start RT ucode: -110
    [ 62.809911] iwlwifi 000:a6:00.0: iwl_trans_send_cmd bad state = 1
    [ 63.013819]iwlwifi 000:a6:00.0: firmware didn't ACK the reset - continue anyway
    [ 63.026049]iwlwifi 000:a6:00.0: Failed to run INIT ucode: -110

    Nothing I do seems to make this installer work. I am trying to install this onto the other half of my internal 2TB m.2 drive in my Framework laptop. Maybe it's the new hardware and it doesn't recognize it? I have only downloaded windows onto 1/2 of the drive, and have done everything I can think of. I've redownloaded the .iso, I've tried using multiple USB drives, nothing seems to make this thing want to cooperate

    Have you considered reaching out to the Framework support team for assistance? They might have some insights or specific instructions for getting the installation to work on their hardware.

    I know my reply is a bit late, but I just saw your post. From the error message you posted, it looks like there might be an issue with the wifi driver. Have you tried disabling the wifi during the installation process to see if that helps? It's also possible that the hardware is too new for the current version of ElementaryOS. Alternatively, you could consider dual-booting with Windows if you have a working windows product key. This would allow you to have both operating systems on your laptop and switch between them as needed. Good luck with your installation.
