Can't install Sabayon

Live ISO won't even boot, black screen blinking cursor I know it's my video card always is Nvidia Geforce rtx 2070

Any suggestions would be great.

It sounds like the ISO is not being read.

If you have linux handy, you should try mounting the iso. I'll expect it won't mount. Then do your disk & drive cleaning routine and try again.

Did you checksum the .iso after you downloaded it? If everything is ok there...

Nvidia and newer kernels have been problematic for a while now.

Here is some good info
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA

Find out what you have, see if your disto is loading support for it, if not you'll need to load it.

Code:

NV160 family (Turing)

NV164 (TU104)        GeForce RTX (2070 Super, 2080, 2080 Super)

NV166 (TU106)        GeForce RTX (2060, 2060 Super, 2070)

You can use the proprietary Nvidia module(which is a binary), or the open source nouvea.
