    Before you installed antiX, did you boot from CD/DVD or from USB?

    USB. Well, ok, actually, not quite: I installed plop on an existing Windows install and booted from USB through that.

    If on USB, did this issue also occur during the live-USB experience?

    Don’t know, the only thing I did when booting the live USB was start the installation…

    Please make sure you have sr0 configuration in /etc/fstab and set to noauto.

    Naturally. It’s:
    /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0

    If you can boot from USB, try booting on live-USB and seeing if there is the same issue.

    The BIOS doesn’t support USB booting, and unfortunately, it seems grub’s installer doesn’t include the necessary drivers for me to see the USB partition 🙁

    If you think this is kernel related, use the package installer to test a different kernel version (be it legacy 4.4.0-XXX or newer 4.19.xxx) o the installed system (and selecting it in grub).

    I’ll try that too and report.
