Phase 0: Pre-Installation Testing

SAIF: SAIF-VALIDATE-PREINSTALL-20251117-001

Purpose: Validate PowerShell modules, network baseline, and hardware detection before proceeding

Step 0.1: Test PowerShell Network Module

Windows PowerShell (Run as Administrator):

# Import KENL.Network module
cd $env:USERPROFILE\kenl\modules\KENL0-system\powershell
Import-Module .\KENL.Network.psm1 -Force

# Test network latency (establishes baseline)
Test-KenlNetwork

# Expected output:
# ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════╗
# ║    KENL Network Latency Test             ║
# ╚═══════════════════════════════════════════╝
#
# Testing Best CDN (199.60.103.31)... 6.2ms [EXCELLENT]
# Testing Akamai (23.46.33.251)... 6.5ms [EXCELLENT]
# Testing AWS East (18.67.110.92)... 7.1ms [EXCELLENT]
# Testing Google (142.251.221.68)... 6.8ms [EXCELLENT]
# Testing Cloudflare (172.64.36.1)... 7.3ms [EXCELLENT]
#
# Average Latency: 6.8ms

# Check MTU configuration
Get-KenlMTU

# Get complete network profile
Get-KenlNetworkProfile

Validation Criteria:

• ✅ Average latency < 10ms
• ✅ All 5 test hosts respond
• ✅ MTU = 1492 (optimal) or can be set
• ✅ No Tailscale interference (should be disabled)

SAIF Flag: SAIF-VALIDATE-PREINSTALL-20251117-001

Result: PowerShell network module operational, baseline established

---

Step 0.2: Document Current Windows Disk Layout

# Get current disk configuration
Get-Disk | Format-Table -AutoSize
Get-Partition | Format-Table -AutoSize

# Export for reference
Get-Disk | Out-File -FilePath "$env:USERPROFILE\kenl\WINDOWS-DISK-LAYOUT-BEFORE.txt"
Get-Partition | Out-File -FilePath "$env:USERPROFILE\kenl\WINDOWS-PARTITIONS-BEFORE.txt" -Append

# Check external 2TB drive status
Get-Partition -DiskNumber 1 | Format-Table -AutoSize

Expected Output (Disk 1 - 2TB External):

DiskNumber PartitionNumber Size                  Type
---------- --------------- ----                  ----
1          1               1.33 TB              Basic
1          2               500 GB               Basic (unknown/corrupted)

SAIF Flag: SAIF-DOC-DISK-LAYOUT-20251117-002

Result: Current disk layout documented for comparison

---

Step 0.3: Verify Bazzite ISO and Ventoy USB

# Check Ventoy USB drive
Get-Volume | Where-Object {$_.DriveType -eq 'Removable'}

# Verify Bazzite ISO exists (if downloaded)
$IsoPath = "F:\ISOs\bazzite-dx-kde-*.iso"  # Adjust path
if (Test-Path $IsoPath) {
    $IsoFile = Get-Item $IsoPath
    Write-Host "✅ Bazzite ISO found: $($IsoFile.Name)" -ForegroundColor Green
    Write-Host "   Size: $([math]::Round($IsoFile.Length / 1GB, 2)) GB" -ForegroundColor Cyan

    # Get SHA256 hash
    $Hash = (Get-FileHash $IsoPath -Algorithm SHA256).Hash
    Write-Host "   SHA256: $Hash" -ForegroundColor Yellow
    Write-Host ""
    Write-Host "⚠️  Verify this hash matches official Bazzite release:" -ForegroundColor Yellow
    Write-Host "   https://download.bazzite.gg/" -ForegroundColor Gray
} else {
    Write-Host "❌ Bazzite ISO not found at $IsoPath" -ForegroundColor Red
    Write-Host "   Download from: https://bazzite.gg/" -ForegroundColor Yellow
}

Validation Criteria:

• ✅ Ventoy USB detected (28GB, dual partition)
• ✅ Bazzite ISO present and SHA256 verified
• ✅ ISO size reasonable (~3-5GB for network installer, ~9-12GB for full)

SAIF Flag: SAIF-VALIDATE-ISO-20251117-003

Phase 1: Disk Partitioning with Filesystem Validation

SAIF: SAIF-PARTITION-EXTERNAL-20251117-005

⚠️ WARNING: This phase ERASES ALL DATA on the 2TB external drive!

Boot Environment: Bazzite Live USB (KDE desktop, Konsole terminal)

---

Filesystem Selection Matrix (Critical Review)

Before partitioning, review this matrix to ensure correct filesystem choices:

Partition	Size	Filesystem	Primary OS	Windows Access	Linux Access	Rationale
Games-Universal	900GB	NTFS	Both	✅ Native (read/write)	✅ ntfs-3g (read/write)	Steam library shared between OSes. NTFS chosen because Windows needs native write access. Linux uses ntfs-3g driver (slight performance penalty but acceptable for game storage).
Claude-AI-Data	500GB	ext4	Linux	⚠️ WSL2 only	✅ Native	LLM models, datasets, vector databases. ext4 chosen for optimal Linux performance. Windows can access via WSL2 (\\wsl$\Bazzite\mnt\claude-ai).
Development	200GB	ext4	Linux	⚠️ WSL2 only	✅ Native	Distrobox containers, Python venvs, git repos. ext4 chosen for Linux-native development speed. Windows access via WSL2 if needed.
Windows-Only	150GB	NTFS	Windows	✅ Native (read/write)	✅ ntfs-3g (read-only rec.)	EA App, BF6, anti-cheat games. NTFS chosen because these games MUST run on Windows. Linux can mount read-only for file inspection.
Transfer	50GB	exFAT	Both	✅ Native	✅ Native	Quick file exchange (screenshots, videos, docs). exFAT chosen for universal compatibility (Windows, Linux, macOS).

Critical Validation:

• ✅ NO ext4 on shared game storage (would block Windows native access)
• ✅ NTFS used ONLY where Windows needs write access
• ✅ exFAT for universal transfer partition
• ✅ ext4 for Linux-only high-performance partitions

Common Mistake to Avoid:

• ❌ DON'T use ext4 for Games-Universal (Windows can't access without drivers)
• ❌ DON'T use NTFS for Claude-AI-Data (slower on Linux, unnecessary)

Step 1.1: Identify and Verify External Drive

Bazzite Live USB Terminal:

# List all block devices
lsblk -o NAME,SIZE,TYPE,MODEL,FSTYPE

# Expected output (your devices may vary):
# NAME   SIZE TYPE MODEL                    FSTYPE
# sda    512G disk KINGSTON OM8SEP4512N-A0  (NVMe - Windows installed here)
# ├─sda1 512M part                          vfat   (EFI)
# ├─sda2 406G part                          ntfs   (Windows C:)
# └─sda3 104G part                          ntfs   (Windows D:)
# sdb    1.8T disk Seagate FireCuda         (EXTERNAL - TARGET)
# ├─sdb1 1.3T part                          ntfs   (old partition)
# └─sdb2 500G part                          (unknown)
# sdc    28G  disk Ventoy                   (USB - boot device)

# Identify the 2TB Seagate FireCuda
DRIVE="/dev/sdb"  # ⚠️ VERIFY THIS IS CORRECT!

# Safety check - display drive info
sudo parted $DRIVE print

# Expected output should show:
# Model: Seagate FireCuda (scsi)
# Disk /dev/sdb: 2000GB
# ...

# ⚠️ STOP AND VERIFY: Is this the 2TB external drive?
echo "Drive to be WIPED: $DRIVE"
lsblk $DRIVE
read -p "Type 'YES I AM SURE' to continue: " confirm

if [ "$confirm" != "YES I AM SURE" ]; then
    echo "❌ Aborted - Safety check failed"
    exit 1
fi

SAIF Flag: SAIF-IDENTIFY-DRIVE-20251117-006

Result: External drive identified and confirmed

---

Step 1.2: Complete Drive Wipe (Secure Erase)

# Complete wipe procedure
echo "🔄 Step 1: Unmounting all partitions..."
sudo umount ${DRIVE}* 2>/dev/null || true

echo "🔄 Step 2: Wiping filesystem signatures..."
sudo wipefs -af $DRIVE

echo "🔄 Step 3: Zeroing partition table sectors..."
# Zero first 10MB (removes all partition table remnants)
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=$DRIVE bs=1M count=10 status=progress

# Zero last 10MB (removes backup GPT)
DRIVE_SIZE=$(sudo blockdev --getsz $DRIVE)
SEEK_POSITION=$(( ($DRIVE_SIZE / 2048) - 10 ))
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=$DRIVE bs=1M seek=$SEEK_POSITION count=10 status=progress

echo "✅ Drive wipe complete"

# Verify clean state
sudo parted $DRIVE print
# Expected: "Error: /dev/sdb: unrecognised disk label" (this is GOOD!)

SAIF Flag: SAIF-WIPE-DRIVE-20251117-007

Result: Drive completely wiped, ready for fresh partitioning

Step 2.4: Installation Destination (CRITICAL)

⚠️ MOST IMPORTANT STEP - READ CAREFULLY

Installer Screen 3: Installation Destination

1. Select Internal NVMe Drive ONLY:

   • ✅ Check: "KINGSTON OM8SEP4512N-A0" (512GB)
   • ❌ Uncheck: "Seagate FireCuda" (2TB) - DATA DRIVE, DON'T TOUCH!

2. Storage Configuration:

   • Select: "Custom" or "Advanced Custom (Blivet-GUI)"
   • Reason: Need manual partitioning for dual-boot

3. Partitioning Strategy:

Option A: Dual-Boot (Recommended)

• Keep Windows 11 on C: (~200GB)
• Install Bazzite on remaining space (~300GB)
• Share EFI partition with Windows

Manual Partition Scheme:

Internal NVMe (512GB):
├─ /dev/sda1: EFI System (512MB) [existing Windows EFI, reuse]
├─ /dev/sda2: Windows C: (200GB, ntfs) [keep unchanged]
├─ /dev/sda3: Windows D: (100GB, ntfs) [keep unchanged]
├─ /dev/sda4: /boot (1GB, ext4) [NEW - Bazzite boot]
├─ /dev/sda5: / (180GB, btrfs) [NEW - Bazzite root]
└─ /dev/sda6: /home (110GB, btrfs) [NEW - Bazzite home]

Blivet-GUI Partitioning Instructions:

1. Select NVMe device (sda)
2. Keep existing Windows partitions (sda1, sda2, sda3) - DO NOT DELETE
3. Create NEW partitions in free space:
   - Mount point: /boot
     - Size: 1024 MiB
     - Filesystem: ext4
     - Label: BAZZITE_BOOT

   - Mount point: /
     - Size: 180 GiB
     - Filesystem: btrfs
     - Label: BAZZITE_ROOT

   - Mount point: /home
     - Size: Remaining space (~110 GiB)
     - Filesystem: btrfs
     - Label: BAZZITE_HOME

4. Verify EFI partition (sda1, 512MB) is mounted at /boot/efi
