I have a #framework laptop with #AMD Ryzen, AI 9 HX 370, whatever processor. I downloaded #Debian from the webpage for AMD with KDE and one with GNOME. It stated that these ISO images are specifically tailored to AMD. When I try to boot from them, I get an error message that it's the wrong architecture. X86-64 vs i686 I don't understand that and I can't find another AMD download. @frameworkputer@bird.makeup

@Okuna@social.tchncs.de @frameworkputer@bird.makeup Not 100% sure that Debian will have support for the HX series processors just yet as they're on quite an old kernel, you might need the testing branch (Debian Sid) if you're determined to run Debian... Personally, I'd suggest either Ubuntu or Fedora ... you'll likely have a simpler time.

@frameworkputer@bird.makeup Thanks to all, indeed it was a setting in my virtual box. I can easily boot from a stick. But I have to admit the support for framework hardware is not that wide, hence I will go back to PopOS.

@Okuna@social.tchncs.de I doubt your problem is the choice of ISO. It sounds like your problem is Virtual Box. Either you don't have the right CPU settings in there or perhaps in your BIOS you do not have virtualization extensions enabled. What host OS are you using? Is it possible you used an i686 host OS to run VB? Same CPU in a FW13 here by the way, and I've tried tones of images on it without much hiccups. Arch for primary of course but have booted many other images on it. Great system.
