Having tried a range of distros I decided to replace my existing system with Netrunner Core on a range of different hardware. The Toshiba Portege, Intel NUC, Mitsushiba NUC and LG gram went fine as did the Dell OptiPlex 3060 but the live USB only boots to a login prompt on my second desktop which is a Dell Vostro 3681. Although the Dell components are not identical the only main configuration difference is I installed a Kingston M.2 2280 Pcie Nvme drive along with the original 1TB HDD. Any ideas how I can get this to boot and then install it since other live USB’s all boot as intended?
