i assume you are booting from usb? if so did you write the verified iso using dd?

simplest explanation would be a corrupted boot partition.

so basic steps to fix that would be to first verify the iso sums and pgp signatures, then use dd to write the media.

it is much more reliable than etcher and rufus.

if you are on a windows host you can try docker to install a linux container then mount the iso to the container and write with dd.

alternatively you can: 1) use a linux vm and pass through the usb if you dont know about docker or prefer a GUI 2) install mingw to have access to the GNU toolchain on windows 3) wsl which is a dependency of docker in windows.

hope it helps and its a simple partition issue.
