So I got this weird bug – I updated my Pop_OS install and now Linux doesn’t boot anymore. I should probably boot from USB and fix this. I could figure it out on my own, but maybe it will be good knowledge for people searching on engines so any advice is welcome. Windows still boots properly. Let’s give people some alternatives to reddit :)

    The picture you posted doesn’t show an error, that’s a screen to select your boot drive. Are you saying you don’t know how to select a boot drive or that when you do select the boot drive, nothing happens? You’re not giving us any information to help you with.

      When I restart the computer, the screen remains dark so I have to shut it down. When I select my distro, the screen hangs on that. When I boot from any live USB I get the error

      I have tried different distros, but none work. Interestingly windows still works.

        Maybe try adding

        acpi=off

        Or

        acpi=strict

        Or

        acpi=force

        To your kernel parameters

          Good recommendation, but didn’t work. I’m quite puzzled by this problem and it’s much more difficult than I at first thought. I’m pretty sure it has to do with the bios since the computer doesn’t turn off properly and there are many more weird bugs.

            Hmmm. Can you try to give us more logs?

            Honestly I’m starting to wonder if you’re having hardware issues.

          Yes, I’m thinking that the bios got corrupted somehow and from what I can tell, it doesn’t matter what linux kernel version I try to run. There is no SGX setting in the bios. I will try to update the bios tomorrow (I already tried once and that hung as well) and will update the thread then. Luckily windows still works.

            That link I gave mentioned a Grub setting for ignoring SGX. Maybe try that after updating your BIOS, if that doesn’t work.
