I was updating my BIOS… I created a ISO to boot the latest BIOS for my thinkpad E14 gen2 (I have never updated the Bios) Then booted it and everything worked fine! The installation went well!
I was quite proud of myself I’m not going to lie… Unfortunately after rebooting the all system I can see the Endeavour booting choices LTS or Lastest but after that Black screen! I’m not able to do anything else than pressing the power button…
So my first question is do I need to THIS?
Is it a grub issue?
Thank you!
Can you boot from EndeavourOS ISO image? If so, you can chroot to your installed system and regenerate grub config, remove the USB drive and try to boot.
Yes I mount everything properly as I can update my system etc… with the terminal I enter the command grub-install
then grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Did you check the graphics drivers? Is it a NoVidea GPU?
Can you boot to a TTY? Do do so (make sure the USB with the ISO image is removed), you press the E key during the grub menu and add 3 to the end of the kernel parameters (the line which begins with linux)…
I do not think this has anything to do with that everything was working without a problem before the BIOS update… Just seem like I can’t boot to the system… Otherwise everything is working while I’m in Chroot
If you can boot to a TTY on the installed system, then it’s almost certainly the graphics drivers. If you can’t even boot to a TTY, then I’m really out of ideas… The fact ISO image boots properly means that there is nothing wrong with the bios and that the fault is somewhere in the installed system.
I’m very confused too I just run a BIOS update via USB iso then the update went well as I checked the version I got now 1.20 but now nothing works Arghhhhhhh almost a year without bloody reinstalling the all system!!!
Maybe when you updated your bios, it loads default and prior settings could have reverted, if you can enter in your bios to check if secure boot is disabled, you’re operate on AHCI mode, you’re hard drive first in the boot order, disable fast boot and enable CSM (compatibility support module) and if you’ve got a option “windows or other OS”.
