Hardware: Dell XPS 9370
ISO: elementaryos-6.0-stable.20210823.iso

I had been affected by the 'Odin iso fails to boot on lots of Dell hardware' issue but with the updated iso, the installation medium was finally accessible in the BIOS 🥳

However, when I get to the try or install elementary OS screen, and either hit Enter, or wait for the booting in... countdown to finish, the screen goes blank. The keyboard is backlit, the fans are whirring away like they're doing something, but there's no operating system being booted, no matter how long I wait or which keys I mash at random.

The iso checksum is valid, and the issue is the same across different installation media and I've since tested and installed Solus, then Ubuntu 20.04.03 LTS without any issues so it doesn't appear to be with my hardware, or something I'm doing wrong..?
