I’m currently using Ubuntu 24.04 on Acer Aspire Lite AL15G 52 and trying to downgrade to Ubuntu 22.04 by booting from a USB drive. However, the system freezes during the boot process from the USB. Below is a picture of error am encountering
I created the iso image using "dd" with command: sudo dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sda status=progress bs=10M && sync but i don't think that's the issue here cause i installed Ubuntu 24.04 in the exact same way and boot settings and chose the option to erase disk (uninstall windows 11) and it worked.
Edit 1: I am trying to install ubuntu-22.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso and previously i installed ubuntu-24.04-desktop-amd64.iso without any issues with same boot settings.
Edit 2: Based on @oldfred's comment, here's the output of "gdisk" command:
$ sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda

Apart from "dd", i also used "etcher" to flash the ISO again and even reflashed the ISO with "dd" again but cleared the partition table with: sudo wipefs --all /dev/sda this time to see if it works & encountered the same error in both cases. I even changed my USB to another one but that also resulted in same error so i assume it has nothing to do with the USB am using.
