I tried to install it, but I came across a blue screen of death after installation was searching for the automatic internet connection configurations. Then after the blue screen of death went away, the installation came up to the desktop selector, and then the computer shutdown after that. I think it is to do with the blue screen of death. That was with kernel 6.11.05 selected on installation boot up.
I tried to select kernel 6.1, but I got a hd0 error warning (attempted to read outside of hd0) that I should boot the kernel image first. as if the kernel was not there.
So at the moment, I can not install 3.8.46 because of these issues.
