[HELP] Recovery stuck on "Estimated time 29 minutes"

Hardware:

  • MB: GIGABYTE Z390 I AORUS PRO WIFI LGA
  • CPU: Intel Core i7 9th Gen - Core i7-9700K Coffee Lake 8-Core 3.6 GHz
  • RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2x16GB) 3200MHz C16 DDR4 DRAM
  • Storage: WD_BLACK 1TB SN750 NVMe
  • GPU: SAPPHIRE Radeon 11265-05-20G Pulse RX 580

I had a lot of restart and KP issues with my installation of Big Sur.

I tried working with the KEXTs and the configuration but nothing seemed to work so I assumed that something had gone awry with the OS itself.

I tried to do a reinstall of the OS from my recovery partition and it seemed to work ok but after the initial restart, the progress bar was stuck at about 1/4 of the way stating that there's "estimated 29 minutes remaining".

Now I can't get into the recovery partition because it doesn't recognize my kbd/mouse and the installation is stuck. Any thoughts?
