ACPI error / GRUB not showing up after fresh installation

Post by Tengrath »

Linux Mint runs fine from USB live system in "compability mode". However, after booting the newly installed Mint from disk the following error occurs
[ 0.821900] ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Could not resolve symbol [\_SB.PC00.PGON.PBGE], AE_NOT_FOUND (20190816/psargs-330)
[ 0.821915] ACPI_Error: Aborting method \_SB.PC00.PGON due to previous error (AE_NOT_FOUND) (20190816/psargs-529)
What is the source of this error message? How can I boot into compability mode after a fresh install?

I tried to make GRUB show up by following the instructions from
https://linuxmint-user-guide.readthedoc ... /grub.html

After this my screen stays dark and my computer reboots asap.

Reboot with your LM USB Live drive, run inxi -Fxxxrz in a terminal, and paste the results back here using the </> button (5th from the left in the text box). That will help us get a better view of what's going on on your system.

Sry for the late reply. Meanwhile I got Mint running using the "edge" ISO image. Presumably, my hardware is new and thus only works with the newer kernel of this image?
