No GPT During Installation, No Boot Options

I remember I saw 2 options (seems to be default kernel and fall back)
So I understand I should leave it as it is?
Anything to do to be sure it will boot again normally as any sane or reasonable machine does?
(I cannot understand this funny behaviour)

Sorry, I meant your BIOS boot order, not your bootloader boot order.

As far as I remember:

  • The USB Flash disk first
    (second and third are USB DVD and then Local Disk - as far as I remember)

Ok. Some of these get goofy and if those devices aren’t present they just wait. Move local disk to the first option for now.

But I have to reboot to access BIOS!
Should I update first? Do anything to be on the safe side?

No, just reboot.

You disablzd legacy support? Calamares hates that

Rebooted, installed, and another distro
Several times… same no boot!

I noticed something, tested it like 7 times and I can say for sure:

  • rebooting from installed system (including MX Linux I installed) causes this issue!
  • Starting the laptop with power button works normally! (shutdown instead of restart, or power off if restarted and failed then power on)

Can anybody explain why “restart” does not reboot the device while power on only works normally?

P.S. I finally made a fresh install, BTRFS on an SDD.
The old HDD is still there but owned by root, need to change owner to myself! What command? (I will try find out myself) (DONE: sudo chown)

Sounds like an ACPI issue then. Very strange. Let me do some research
