When trying to install pop os on a system with a MSI widescreen monitor the installer crashes after selecting clean install.
Investigation shows that the monutor expose a small drive on /dev/sdb (evidently used by the internal kvm switch) and the installer attempts to access this, gets an error and dies even though there is a perfectly usable 4Gb nvme disk installed.
The disk utility shows a drive labelled 'MSI Optix Driver' of size 23kB in the disks utility.
Thr kernel logs show something like:
Buffer I/O Error on dev sdb logical block 0 async read
unaligned partial completion
There is no method of disabling the presence of this drive.
The installer should not crash in this case but proceed to a workable nvme drive/
