Can't install Solus 4.3 (Plasma)

Yass

Why 4.3 is out of date ?

I don't know what is a distro watch... do you suggest me tro get the 4.2 from this link https://distrowatch.com/?newsid=11145 ?

Yass That doesn't works with Solus 4.2 ...
The same error except a new message "pci : AMD-Vi : Unable to read/write to IOMMU perf counter"

I think I will choose another distro, I didn't have this problem with Manjaro and Ubuntu Mate... only with Solus OS

Because it is old and due to some issues (organizational and technical) there wasn't a new ISO release for quite a while now. This is currently in the works now, you just came slightly too early for the 4.4 ISO. Not much longer now though.

Interesting, I use a ISO dvd to re-install Solus when i need to. Works quite well, for me anyway.

Thank you four your answers,
However I have the same error with 4.2 maybe my laptop is too recent...

Yes, that's why I'm saying you'll probably have to wait a bit for 4.4 (unless you want to try an ugly workaround). An older ISO is of course even worse when it comes to support for new hardware.

I don't want to wait.. Thank you for your answers !

Make sure CSM / Legacy boot is turned off from BIOS. Make sure Secure Boot is disabled. Try if "iommu=off" makes any difference.

@Staudey what is this ugly workaroud ?

Yass Then your only option might be to wait for next ISO release.

Yass Well that's what I told you to begin with. 🙄
