 Posted: Wed Apr 10, 2024 11:43 am Post subject: debugging boot pause |
 |
|
I'm running gentoo on one of my laptops with a broken screen, the boot procees is paused on reboot/power on unless I press the 'enter' button.
the tricky part is that I cannot see what the error is, connecting the laptop to an external screen does not work until after I press enter.
I'm using EFI grub to boot the system, so I assume the problem might be there., i checked the efi boot sequence but it seems fine:
| Code: | samsung ~ # efibootmgr

Maybe it's the EFI firmware reporting an error related to your broken display.
Like the one "Keyboard not detected, press F1 to continue".
It might be possible to disconnect the integrated display, but you should investigate how to do that, if possible for your particular model.
I would also suggest increasing GRUB timeout so that you can see after you press enter, if grub menu gets loaded. If it does, then there's something at the EFI firmware level. Also have you external monitor switched on a few seconds before the laptop, so it's on and actively searching for signal, ready to display anything that's available immediately, rather than waiting for it to wake up.
Best Regards,
Georgi |
