How do I get the Ubuntu installer to detect my expansion card? I’m trying to put Windows on my primary SSD, and keep Ubuntu on the 1TB expansion card.

How do you mean “expansion card” - I’m assuming the official one here? To install on the 1TB card, you need to boot from a third party boot USB, such as a USB stick (this is the way I did it). Write it as a bootable disk with a programme such as RPI imager or Balena etcher. Boot from this disk and NOT the windows one. The installer should allow the install onto your expansion card. I installed regatta.os on mine, which is a dedicated gaming platform, sadly it doesn’t come with any suitable graphics drivers - unlike Linux Mint which was almost OOTB.
Good luck.

Does anyone know how to undo the OEM kernel, previously step 10 in that guide?
From my understanding, the OEM kernel is no longer needed according to:

However even after 6.8 was installed, it’s still booting me into 6.5.0.1024-oem.
How would I switch it to 6.8 without breaking anything?
The grub line is already set to:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

the other lines are as follows:

GRUB_DEFAULT="Advanced options for Ubuntu>Ubuntu, with Linux 6.5.0-1024-oem"
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden
GRUB_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

sudo update-grub

Nvm, think I can just set GRUB_DEFAULT=0 and that should do it, will try tomorrow.

Hi @Cookies
Did you manage to get back to come back to the generic Kernel version ?
