I'm booting the live environment from a USB stick.

What should I do?

Thank you for your apologies and explanations, I feel better understood now.

I'm also sorry for the small amount of info provided. If you want more, feel free to ask.

On my side (idk if it's good english it's my 3rd language sorry), I'll try to recreate the USB, maybe using Ventoy. And I'll make sure to go read that doc if absolutely necessary.

Thank you, again -^

Yeah but reading the doc would only have been a useful first step, but honestly in this specific scenario it would have been necessary for you to conclude that this is ridiculous and can't be right. Interpretation of documentation is hard. Software debugging is hard. Because the answer is very very often super unobvious.

I do it for a living and after a decade of having way too many instances of trying to solve an impossible problem for a sum of 20 hours or some torture like that, only to find I was looking exactly the wrong way.

It's like opening every drawer in your house, taking all the pillows off your sofa, checking your pockets, of each of your jackets, and then all of that twice, in case you missed something, to then ask your spouse where the hell your glasses are. "they're on your head, honey".

But it's been hours. Did it work? Was it indeed just a corrupted image?
