I don’t know if and how crossposting functions in kbin/lemmy, so hopefully it’ll work that way

But once you’re trying to extract the log, you need to start it with acpi on. I mean we want to see that error happening.
Maybe paste the whole log somewhere on a pastebin service… If you manage to do it… Sometimes it’s not an obvious error message. (…But something like the HDMI port being turned off…)
@rufus
I‘m afraid that it‘s where it will fail, cause I can‘t get it to work with acpi on
I thought of getting the „bad installed“ (acpi=off) OS, let it start with acpi on and afterwards grab the logs again with acpi off, but don‘t know if that will work…
I don’t know what gets written to disk on which distro and which logs are just kept in memory.
dmesg
alone just shows the current boot. I think if you’re doing it that wayjournalctl --dmesg --boot=-1
would be the correct command. That should do it.@rufus
Alright, will try later and report back the outcome / pastebin if I can grab it
Good luck! 😀
(FYI: You can skip mentioning names that way, a direct reply will show up on Lemmy. And if you want to mention someone, you’d need to add the instance name for it to have an effect. i.e. @rufus@discuss.tchncs.de )
Unfortunately nothing. Did install - reboot with acpi=off, reboot with no acpi parameter, reboot with acpi=off
Dmesg shows for the boot=-1 the first boot after install with acpi=off
No log for the try without acpi parameter 😢😢
Booting with acpi=off shows many logs with „IRQ not found for nvidia …“ (in the meaning, not wordly).
Edit: can‘t find an irq for your nvidia card
Edit 2: found a boot.log file. When trying to boot without acpi=off then no log is written, the bootprocess doesn‘t even start. From this point of view I‘d guess a Problem with UEFI. Still no idea what and where, but it‘s not graphics related if the bootprocess doesn‘t start at all… what d‘you think?
I think you can safely ignore all the errors that happen while acpi=off. That will switch all kinds of things around and the operating system can’t set up the hardware properly without it, so it is to be expected that half the things crap out and throw error messages. Could be a red herring anyways.
Are you sure Secure Boot is switched to “Other OS”? (see https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1049829/ ) You could verify that with the ‘msinfo32’ in the guide.
And I’m really not sure if it’s the UEFI. From your description it seems you’re getting to the boot loader and something happens after… Maybe try not messing with the acpi, but removing the “quiet” and “splash” if they’re there and adding “nomodeset” instead. After you hit Enter (or Ctrl-X with Grub) the early kernel messages should pop up. Something with loading and initrd or like that. What happens then? Does it load the kernel? Do additional log messages with a boot process appear? (If it’s too fast, you can try a video recording of your screen with your phone.)

as you can see, absolutely nothing happens or shows up. (still uploading rn, should be available shortly)
I have another kernel option for you to try: “earlyprintk is useful when the kernel crashes before the normal console is initialized. It is not enabled by default because it has some cosmetic problems.”
I’m not sure if it gets you anywhere, but it could make the fist kernel messages show up.
And you could try replacing the
acpi=off
withacpi=noirq
. If it’s something with the interrputs, there are extra options likeapic=irqfixup
ornolapic
(mind the difference apic <-> acpi). (Taken from this document)I had the time to google a bit and I was right, I am about to run out of ideas. There is a good general guide in the arch wiki on how to approach issues:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/General_troubleshooting#Boot_problems
Maybe also read that, but that’s pretty much it.
