SteamOS installer fails to boot on Lenovo V14 G2 ALC laptop #2840

Your system information

Hi, I am trying to install the SteamOS beta from https://store.steampowered.com/steamos/download/?ver=steamdeck&snr=100601___ and it doesn't even load the installer on my Lenovo V14 G2 ALC laptop.
Secure Boot is off- it lands me at the GRUB-style boot screen.

I've tried this on multiple USB sticks, and it's seemingly just SteamOS that has problems- Fedora KDE 44 Live has no issues, and I was able to install Windows 10 on this laptop without issues.
I upgraded to the latest BIOS available from Lenovo while I had Windows 10 installed.

I try loading SteamOS from the GRUB menu (both regular and fallback images), but fallback takes me back to the GRUB boot menu, and the regular one says Error: you must load the kernel first.

I've attached some screenshots of the errors.
I do have a video of the boot process, but GitHub doesn't like my phone's MP4 file.
