Look for something about disable secure boot. Disable secure boot. See if that helps any. Could have legacy boot enabl...

I've been using the method of the first post (boots just fine on other machines). I do have the initrd /initrd.gz line in grub.cfg, I only posted the kernel line to show the various kernel options I tried (some of them, all of them... always same result) I have also tried burning the .iso with Rufus...

Place it next to the puppy_main.sfs. I think you rename it like this: If your main sfs is puppy_tahr_6.0.5.sfs you name it fdrv_tahr_6.0.5.sfs Disappointment, that didn't work... downloaded the latest sfs firmware file, copied it on the usb, renamed it fdrv_xenialpup64_7.5.sfs... (no need to add a ...

all I get after the grub menu is a black screen You do not even get to the prompt? With pfix=nox? For the graphic card you will have to look for the nvidia driver, but I would expect you to get at least at the prompt, even without de nvidia driver. Your machine is rather top class ! Maybe Puppy is ...
