This seems like it's either a hardware failure or an unsupported storage type.

What kind of storage/device are you trying to install VOS on?

M.2 SSD using a Enclosure

[taukakao]

Only thing I can say is that the input/output error is causing this problem and it's most likely a hardware failure. So either the enclosure or the drive failed.

I tried to install 2 times with ventoy, 3 times without ventoy. same error each time. post install error.

I tried to install other os, cachy, bluefin all installed perfectly.

@taukakao can the drive fail everytime right after installation? cause i just installed a few other linux distros and they installed fine. (ubuntu, debian, fedora)

[CypherpunkSamurai]

any update on this?

[arvindautar]

It might be useful to test:

• installing to the same SSD when connected internally (if possible)
• trying a different USB enclosure or port
• checking dmesg during install for USB resets or I/O drops
• Try pre-formatting the disk manually before install

That could help narrow down whether this is hardware-related or something specific to the installer’s behavior.
