Re: Install 9.4 on acer V15 Nitro 4K -> black screen after choosing installation method; Kali live running and Ubuntu installation no problem

Here are a few ideas bases on my own experience:

1) Is your BIOS up to date? I'm not trying to pin this issue down on
BIOS issues, but who knows.

2) What is your exact BIOS/UEFI configuration? When I installed Debian
on my laptop I couldn't get grub to install correctly at first, but I
managed it by enabling Legacy support while keeping UEFI as the default
boot method.

HTH,
Francisco
