Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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 :)

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.

I fixed it! A bios reset did the trick.
