Trying to boot from USB but it goes directly to grub on my ThinkPad X1 Nano

Post by coffeematcha »

I'm trying to do a new installation of Linux Mint on my ThinkPad X1 Nano, but it takes me directly to a black screen with "grub>". I've installed many other distros on this machine with no problems. I've also tried booting to the same USB on my other laptop, ThinkPad T14, and it boots to the live desktop with no problems. Any ideas what the problem is?

For ideas, take a look at this topic Can't get USB install drive to boot on Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Nano.
