Linux no longer boots after update
Linux no longer boots after update
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 :)
You're viewing a single thread.
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
0.083296] x86/cpu: SGX disabled by BIOS. 0.263311] ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.PCI0.SPI1.FPNT._CRS due to previous error (AE_AML_INVALID_RESOURCE_TYPE) (20220331/psparse-529) 0.263591] ACPI Error: Method execution failed \_SB.PCI0.SPI1.FPNT._CRS (AE_AML_INVALID_RESOURCE_TYPE) (20220331/uteval-68) 0.264837] ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.PCI0.SPI2.FPNT._CRS due to previous error (AE_AML_INVALID_RESOURCE_TYPE) (20220331/psparse-529) 0.265092] ACPI Error: Method execution failed \_SB.PCI0.SPI2.FPNT._CRS (AE_AML_INVALID_RESOURCE_TYPE) (20220331/uteval-68)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
I wonder if it has anything to do with this:

I'm not familiar with SGX, but it kinda sounds like a predecessor to Secure Boot? I wonder if that's preventing some kind of startup.
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.
ACPI errors shouldn't be an issue, it's somewhat common to see them. Are you still able to boot from live USB? Are your Linux and Windows installations on the same drive? Sometimes Windows can mess with the boot settings of other OSes and even break a GRUB install.
I have tried to boot from 3 distros and none of them worked, but a windows USB worked perfectly. I'm thinking that it has to do with the bios. No they are not on the same drive.
So I think that there may be a BIOS misconfiguration here somewhere. Try looking at the answers here, maybe one of them will help: https://askubuntu.com/questions/708247/cant-boot-into-ubuntu-in-windows-10-ubuntu-dual-boot
Also try enabling sgx in bios
