In the past i had some issues with booting EndevourOS after an update (same as in this thread).
After Updating the motherboard Bios (ASRock B450M Pro4) and disabling CSM everything works fine, exept that there is no Bios Boot Screen/Boot Menu. The System boots directly into EndevourOS, and the monitor stays black until LightDM shows up. I use systemd-boot.
The strange thing is that there is really no boot screen nor boot messages at all. the monitor stays off the hole boot process. Even if i switch it on, only blank screen till LightDM shows up.
So you mean the BIOS menu (before systemd-boot) does not show up?
Can you see it if you press some function key e.g. F2 a few times right after turning the machine on?
Sorry for the late reply. After clearing CMOS i could enter UEFI Settings. Fast boot is off, but after i disabled CSM (without disabling CSM System doesnât boot) the boot behavior is the same. No Boot screen
That makes sense. CSM is for legacy BIOS and EOS (if I remember correctly) defaults to UEFI, so if your motherboard supports it, CSM should be disabled. That board is certainly new enough to not require legacy BIOS mode.
Edit: If youâve never updated ASRock BIOS before, doing so resets all BIOS settings to stock after the update. This includes fastboot, secureboot, and AHCI settings.
I have an ASRock in one of my home servers (albeit an Intel based board) and when I updated the BIOS I had to disable secureboot afterward.
Is TPM disabled? There are some known issues with having TPM enabled on Linux.
ASRock also states that CMOS should not be cleared after updating BIOS until the system has been fully rebooted and then shutdown.
Another option for entering UEFI on ASRock motherboards is using Del key. I find on my ASRock board I must select Del multiple times in a row for it to recognize and I must begin doing so immediately upon reboot or it is not recognized.
Do you have auto login enabled for EOS?
Edit 2: Which kernel do you have installed? Do you have both installed? When I boot my ASRock board, it gives me the option to select which kernel I want to use (I have both installed), but it also gives me an option to enter UEFI settings as well.
Edit 3:
I should have asked sooner. What do you refer to by âboot screenâ? And what do you need it for?
My apologies, I did not mean to flag your reply. I accidentally clicked instead of quoting you.
Ok, if youâre confident fastboot is disabled, have you checked your kernel boot parameters?
If it is set to "quiet" then the boot logo would not be displayed. I donât recall if this exists in the ASRock UEFI settings, but many motherboard manufacturers have an option in settings where logo display during boot can be disabled. So there are two additional things for you to check.
