I bought the dev kit for the new raspberry pi CM5 and have been fighting Ubuntu for hours.

I can get through the installer, almost to the end. And then it crashes. Always after I input the user information.

I found a post talking about how the pi 5 has the same issue when installed from an nvme or usb3 device. I have tried that fix (involved modifying the config.txt), as well as using just a standard SD card, to no avail. (turns out that the SD card is non functional on CM5 models that have emmc storage)

Ideally, I’d like to use the emmc storage for the OS, but I’ll take using a USB drive to get to a working Ubuntu version.

I also noticed that the CM5 is not listed as a supported device yet here: https://ubuntu.com/download/raspberry-pi Could that be related?
