I am trying to boot Kali Linux from USB and I am struggling to do so. I first attempted from a brand new HP Pavillion 15 gaming laptop and it would not work, I kept getting errors saying that the NVME was timing out, when booted normally it would go into a loop at boot up and forever say it was a start job running for live-config contains the components that configure a live system. I was also getting the error that it was unable to find the live boot medium for Kali Linux. I have since then got a HP Envy x360 and again Kali Linux is still not working. However this time it says the Kernal goes into panic during boot up. I have troubleshooted and it is yet again saying that it can not detect a live medium boot. However I tried this on an older HP model which was a standard Pavillion and it worked perfectly fine. I have also done it on my Gaming Desktop which is also a HP and it works perfectly fine. i really need to get this sorted as i need kali linux for my work.
I feel like Im missing something here. But i need some quick and to the point advice none if the jargon that seems to come with the answer on forums.
if anyone could help would be most appreciated.
SPECS:
HP ENVY X360
AMD RYZEN 5
RADEON VEGA GRAPHICS
1TB HDD AND 128GB SSD

I'm sorry, but we here are not equipped to provide detailed Linux support.
Since HP does not provide Linux drivers, your best bet for Linux support is to contact the support forum for the Linux distro you are using.
Good Luck
