Title: Live USB Boot Loop / NVRM Error on new RTX 5050 (HP Victus)

Hardware:

  • Laptop: HP Victus 15

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 (with Radeon 780M Integrated Graphics)

  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5050 (Laptop GPU)

  • RAM: 24 GB

  • Secure Boot: Disabled

The Issue:

I am trying to install CachyOS on my new HP Victus, but I cannot reach the live environment. When booting from the standard CachyOS USB option, the boot process gets stuck in an infinite loop with the following errors:

Plaintext

NVRM: This PCI I/O region assigned to your NVIDIA device is invalid
nvidia 0000:01:00.0: probe with driver nvidia failed with error -1

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

  1. EndeavourOS Test: I was able to successfully boot and install EndeavourOS using their specific “NVIDIA only for Turing+ cards” boot option, which seemingly handled the new RTX 5050 properly. I would much prefer to use CachyOS, though!

  2. Kernel Parameters: I attempted to bypass the NVIDIA crash on the CachyOS ISO by editing the GRUB boot line:

    • Adding module_blacklist=nvidia nomodeset: This stopped the NVRM error, but caused a new infinite loop displaying Module nvidia is blacklisted (likely because nomodeset disabled my AMD integrated graphics as well, leaving no display driver).

My Question:

Since the RTX 5050 is very new hardware, is there a specific boot parameter or a different ISO version I should use to get past this NVRM probe failure so I can run the installer?

Thank you for any help!

The only thing I can say is: Disable the RTX5050 in the BIOS and install the OS. After the OS is running turn the RTX5050 in the BIOS back on.

thx for the reply the problem is fixed now i only have to add pci=realloc in the grub line then the installer booted, after the installation i added the line in the installed cachyos which fixed the nvidia drivers issue
