Booting issue on Dell XPS 13 7390 #67

Open ghost opened 4 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

agFM does not boot on Dell XPS 13 7390 (standard laptop not 2in1). My guess is its related to this: https://www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/dzluza/dell_xps_13_7390_wont_boot_from_usb/

User says agFM works on other systems - just not on Dell XPS 13 7390. Etcher/Rufus USB drives work OK for various Linux grub2 OS's - just not agFM UEFI64 on 7390. agFM multi grub2 ISO and E2B agFM also does not boot on 7390. Symptom is some 'small text' displayed which cannot be read + hang.

Interestingly Ventoy 1.0.14 boots just fine. In all fairness any text is gonna be small on a 4k screen thats 13in diag. Using Rufus 3.11 to write the agFM multiarch iso results in a hang with with no text output.

What will happen if you press [F4] then press [T] to switch to text mode? https://github.com/a1ive/grub2-filemanager/issues/236

Might help to know what the small text says? Can you take a photo/video and enlarge it, or connect a second monitor?

I got this laptop at the beginning of the year and use E2B on a daily basis. I've had this booting issue the whole time, but there's been several updates to both agFM and E2B over that time frame. I'm thinking at some point I was getting more text output. However now if I boot the agFM multiarch iso written with Rufus 3.11 I'm getting the Dell logo and no text output, just a hang. It doesn't respond to any key presses including the aforementioned f4,T or f4+T. The Dell logo never disappears, which is what further in dicates the hang for me. When I boot to the agFM on my E2B drive I get a period following by an underscore and a hang with Dell logo. The period and underscore stay onscreen too.

That commit was on May 27, 2020. As previously stated the issue was present on my end from the time I first tried it on this machine back in January. Although I'm happy to test and troubleshoot anything. I haven't compiled this project before but I'll give it a shot.
