TrueNAS Scale 25.10 crashes during install from USB ISO

I am trying to install TrueNAS on a 2019 Dell Inspiron with a Ryzen 5 2500g and 16gbs of DDR4 2400 Mhz ram. I’m using this old laptop as a practice system to get familiar with network set up and NAS operations before buying everything for a true dedicated system. I’m new to NAS and homelabbing in general. But during install It crashes after initializing it, I get these error codes and then the laptop turns off. Secure boot is Off. It’s in UEFI Secure Boot off. I have tried Legacy boot as well and nothing works.

I’ve tried two USB’s already, one with Ventoy the other with Balena Etcher to use as the boot USB for the iso.

the two errors are written as:

[0.2912153] ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Could not resolve symbol [\_SB.PCIE.LPCO.ECO] AE_NOT_FOUND 920240827/dswload2-162)

[0.291237] ACPI Error: AE_NOT_FOUND, During name lookup/catalog (20240827/ps object-220)

*Copying /run/live/medium/live/filesystem.squashfs to RAM sending incremental file list

filesystem.squashfs

I have ran memtest86 on the laptop to make sure the RAM was ok and I got a pass so my system should be good. I can also install other Linux based Operating Systems with no problem. This one just doesn’t seem to work with this system but I can’t figure out why. I have read countless forum posts but they all seem to be around different issues than mine and can’t find it really talked about or a solution given.

I don’t have a direct answer, other than some all in one PCs or laptops may not have all the I/O needed.

But, if the goal is to learn how to install and configure TrueNAS CE / SCALE, then install your OS of choice, (Linux distro or MS-Windows). After, install something like VirtualBox or other free VM manager, with TrueNAS CE / SCALE as a VM.

To be clear, I am not suggesting using TrueNAS CE / SCALE as a VM for production. It generally takes some specific steps to make TrueNAS CE / SCALE run as a VM reliably. But, for testing? Go for it.
