I am not able to install Ubuntu 20.04 on Lenovo laptop. Unfortunately, the installation stalls when I define the mount point, enter name and password to set up the computer name and then click on the "Continue" button. It does show some progress in the beginning and then it just stalls when it is "Detecting file systems ..."
In some cases, it stalls at a different point while the installation of "dpkg" is in progress.
I am using RUFUS to create a bootable ISO USB-PENDRIVE of 8GB. I have attached the log report. In BIOS, I have disabled secure boot and under booting I have selected "only UEFI" and "CSM = NO".
By setting CSM as No, I believe that is required as the I have selected GPT in RUFUS and the corresponding option is UEFI(no CSM).
The disk chosen for this installation is the NVMe based drive and I have allocated 536 MB for EFI partition and the rest formatted as ext4 and mounted on "/" for Ubuntu 20.04.
What am I missing? I have checked the download ISO image for integrity using the sha256, the image is good and I have changed almost 3 to 4 different pen drives.
Please let me know. I have attached the logs and images for your reference.
Thank you.
Here is the RUFUS log(I have removed some log entries due to post's code limit on Stackoverflow) and the images:
