I have a PC that I've been dual booting with windows and ubuntu, installed on separate SSDs (windows on nvme1n0, ubuntu on nvme1n1). I decided to replace ubuntu with debian, and even though it seems the install finishes correctly it does not load debian properly.
When I reboot it first takes me to a grub> cmd prompt (no idea what this is, doesn't look like a normal shell to me, even though I seem to be able to access the file system on some of the partitions). If I type 'exit', then it exits and loads windows. However, I followed some instructions to boot linux instead and i can get it going by doing the followingThe X and Y in (hdX,Y) seems to be changing with each new install attempt, but I'm pretty sure I'm picking the right one (the one with the linux directory structure).
After the boot command from the grub> prompt it exits the prompt and starts booting debian, but it get stuck (sorry, I can run it through chatgpt and paste it in text form if needed):

I tried waiting it out for over an hour, it just stays stuck here. I tried fiddling around with my logitech devices (mouse and kb) since it is the last line but I realized the last log line is probably a successful load and the stuckage is happening in whatever it is trying to load next.
I found one other instance of a similar problem on google, but their issue was a corrupted usb..not sure how to apply that here. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
