Ok I nearly lost hope, since not being able to figure it out.
PLEASE. SEND. HELP.
_ First: this might gonna get a long one, but I‘m desperately looking for help!
Second: I‘m a total newb on Linux, so I have really limited Linux know-how.
Specs:
Asus ROG Strix G15DS-R7700X088W
AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
2x 1TB SSDs; 1x M2 NVME with W11 running, 1x SATA
Goal:
Running Dual Boot with W11 on the first, M2 SSD (already running fine) and Linux (Nobara preferred) on the second, SATA SSD
Distros I tried:
Nobara 39
Fedora 39
Fedora 38
Ubuntu 22.04
Pop!_OS
Problem I run into:
I can‘t boot even from the LiveUSB without the „acpi=off“ option. If I do, I get just a black Screen (with Backlight still on) or, if I get into the Grub options first, there‘s only „booting command list“ visible but nothing else happens (even with „quiet“ disabled, no info on the Screen at all).
One thing I noticed, since my Keyboard, Mouse and Mousemat (Razerfly) have lighting, when I try to boot without the acpi=off, they go dark. And stay dark. With acpi=off the keyboard alone goes dark but then lights up again after 2-3 seconds.
If I run it with acpi=off, I can boot and install, but I then have to boot every time with acpi=off. This leads to the graphics driver not being recognized by the OS and running always in 1024x768 „software rendering“ resolution (even with proper drivers installed and enabled and nouveau on blacklist). So just let „acpi=off“ enabled isn‘t an option.
I did, after researching for several hours, try with various other options (nomodeset, acpi=ht, pci=biosirq, noapic, nolapic, and so on, tried a ton of those) but nothing did the trick - always black screen of death without acpi=off.
I did update my BIOS to the latest Version (306), did try every possibilty of options enabled/disabled (Fast Boot, Secure Boot, IOMMU, acpi settings in BIOS, secondary on-board Graphics,…) with no change.
Since I ran out of options (in relation to my google and reddit search skills), knowledge (total newb on Linux) and possibility to ask friends (that know more about linux than me), I‘m desperate enough to ask for help.
You are my last hope, before giving up on Linux with my PC.
If someone has an idea I could try or even a solution, I‘d be endlessly thankful!
If I missed some info or something is needed, don‘t hesitate to as for specific details._
You're viewing a single thread.
Unfortunately, those kernel parameters have always confused me. There are other options for acpi (see doc).
Do you have any text output when you boot? Maybe the errors in the boot process might help find the right kernel parameter or problem.
Unfortunately no output at all. Only when changing parameters in grub and booting from there with F10/CTRL+X I get a line saying „booting a command line“ on which it stays forever without anything happening.
Nothing else I tried as parameter helped up until now, but will work through the links you provided, thank you.In grub, could you edit the
linuxline and removequiet splashand add a3to the end? Similar to https://www.baeldung.com/linux/boot-linux-command-line-modeIt should look like
linux /boot/vmlinuz.... root=... ro $vt_handoff 3. You should get some output then which you could take a picture of (don't know how else to share it).You can do it with
acpi=offandacpi=on. There's alsopci=noacpi, but I've never tried it.Thank you.
The only way I got it working was again with acpi=off and with the 3 I just land on the CLI?
Did removing
quiet splashoutput anything? Removal should allow the kernel to output logs.Well the startup kernel messages. Looking for something specific?
Could you share them? Anything that looks like an error would be good. If you can, can you export the output of
dmseg(prints the kernel logs)?dmesg > /tmp/kernel.log curl --upload-file ./kernel.log https://transfer.sh/kernel.logThat will output a link to the uploaded kernel log that you can share here. It should work with the one that started with
acpi=off. Since your system won't start without it, you can just take a picture after it crashes if it has text output. Basically, we need to see the error in order to be able to help you.Edit: if you have an HDMI capture card and a second computer, a recording of the HDMI output would be great.
Sure. The whole output or something like
dmesg -T --level=emerg,alert,crit,err,warn?I don't think it reveals anything private, so the entire output should be fine. If you're uncomfortable, then
--level=emerg,alert,crit,err,warnshould probably do.-Tis unncessary, IMO.there you go:

Since without acpi=off it's not possible to boot and there is absolutely no output after grub (as if the kernel wouldn't load at all) there simply nothing to show ...[ 9.101103] mt7921e 0000:09:00.0: can't find IRQ for PCI INT A; please try using pci=biosirq
Have you tried
pci=biosirq? From the description of the kernel parameter I don't think it's the right solution, but it might be worth trying.biosirq [X86-32] Use PCI BIOS calls to get the interrupt routing table. These calls are known to be buggy on several machines and they hang the machine when used, but on other computers it's the only way to get the interrupt routing table. Try this option if the kernel is unable to allocate IRQs or discover secondary PCI buses on your motherboard.This one below though, might be the most important clue to a solution.
