ShredOS wipes hang, System Rescue distro works?

[funk0id]

I've had persistent issues with various systems freezing when running nwipe via the current ShredOS download.

Weirdly, on the same machines, with the same parameters, things run through without issues using the System Recovery live image which currently has nwipe-0.37?

It's a workaround for now, but ideally I want a workflow that boots, formats and uploads the output pdf to a common location.

Have you tried adding nomodeset to the kernel command line in both grub.cfg files on the USB drive? This disables the DRM video drivers and uses framebuffer mode rather than the video drivers.

If it works without freezing then the video driver is the problem. Please let me know whether it solves the problem or not.

set default="0"
set timeout="0"

menuentry "shredos" {
	linux /boot/shredos console=tty3 loglevel=3 nomodeset
}

Can you also post the output of lspci -k so I can see what hardware and drivers are in use. Thanks.
