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 :)

    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.
