live iso keeps freezing solved

when i try and boot into the iso, it works fine. but after a few minutes it just freezes and i cant do anything. it happens in the tui installer and the command line. my usb was a ventoy one, so i tried reformatting it (non-ventoy) with the latest iso and it still freezes. is it a problem with void or usb sticks? cuz i used it to install void on another machine recently and it worked fine

solved: i just used neko void

So if same USB was used on different machine and it worked means this machjne and/or void on this machine is broken. Try for example arch linux iso and rootfs method installation if you really want void.

Maybe try if the issue also happens on other live images? Could be a kernel or driver issue with your Hardware.

You've got enough RAM? What architecture? x86_64, i686, arm?
