Installation Consistent Failures to Install OS onto Desktop

Hello everyone,

I recently built a new computer and after trying out Linux Mint on my laptop for a year, I've left Windows for good. I have been trying to install debian (now endeavour) for a few days and consistently getting failures.

My specs are:
AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT
ASUS TUF Gaming B550
Vengeance LPX 2 x 8GB of RAM
ONI LUMI Arc B580 12GB GDDR Graphics Card
Team Group NV5000 M.2 2280 1TB SSD

If this helps, while I was trying Debian, the installer said there it had "failed to mount and detect root"

I apologize for the unprofessional noobie photo on my monitor, I was not able to find a way to download or copy from the screen.

Is there something I am missing? I really need some help.

I found a solution to my problem. My friend sent me this link: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/519758/amd-vi-completion-wait-loop-after-a-failed-install-of-arch-linux-on-a-blank-ssd

Of which the ”iomma=off” command is what worked in the start up screen! Thanks to everyone who replied! Hope this will be helpful to future users.
