Cannot boot new installation #766

Closed cgamez closed 5 years ago

cgamez commented 5 years ago

USB live-29460 works fine and proceed to HDD installation. hard disk installation crashes when it displays following message: fb0: switching to inteldrmfb from EFI VGA Laptop Machine will power off immediately. Same issue with img dd to HDD (img to virtualbox works fine) CPU: Intel Celeron N3050 @ 1.60 GHz CPU ID: 406C3 Laptop: DELL Inspiron 11-3162 BIOS: 2.4.0 (newest posted by DELL) Tried adding nomodeset to kernel parameters, but could not find where to change parameters using live USB. Fixing boot instructions said repaired 1 file but issue is the same. Tried to add boot. Also tried adding delay time using clr-boot-manager set-timeout but only works on running kernel not in HDD. Thanks.

I have the same problem

ahkok commented 5 years ago

Are you booting using UEFI enabled?

jaycenet commented 5 years ago

Yes EFI enabled, and a entry is created in the BIOS 'Linux Boot'

But this message is appearing at boot :

I checked on the /boot partition the files are present

cgamez commented 5 years ago

@ahkok Yes, EFI enabled, snapshot of boot messages (just before shutdown) Screenshot_20190518-232748

Hit down arrow key when booting to show "boot menu". then hit "e" key to edit and add nomodeset to the kernel parameters

cgamez commented 5 years ago

@miguelinux I tried to add a 20 second menu delay but never found how to add it in the HDD while using the LIVE USB. I will try the down arrow key and post results here. The EFI loader is at BIOS level, I have tried all loader and EFI options (conf and kernel). Do you know which file is the one that will show the boot menu?

They are in the ESP (EFI System Partition), and usually it is mounted in /boot

the safer way to do it is using "clr-boot-manger"

sudo clr-boot-manager set-timeout 20 sudo clr-boot-manager update

the raw (not safer) way is to edit the files directly

sudo systemctl start boot.mount sudo nano /boot/loader/loader.conf

and add the following line:

timeout 20

You can find more info at "man clr-boot-manager", also CL uses systemd-boot, you can find more info in the web.

@miguelinux thanks for all your information. I had tried using clr-boot-manager but it did not work with the Live USB onto the HDD, only in virtualbox it worked fine. I had installed other distro but reinstalled Clear OS and magically it works now! I did not have to edit anything, but I appreciate your manual edit, yesterday I tried but could not find the correct file to edit. The issue is solved but by unknown reasons. Used same setup, same USB.

@cgamez Hi, I'm facing a similar issue here, what distro have you installed before reinstalling?

cgamez commented 5 years ago

@firatcetiner Hi, I'm almost sure I had installed Solus (Budgie). Never crossed my mind if this helped fixing the issue, haha. Link to Solus downloads https://getsol.us/download/
