I had been running Linux Mint 19.1 Tessa Cinnamon since 2019 with practically no issues. As support is coming to an end, I tried installing Linux Mint 21.1 Vera Cinnamon.
It installs with no obvious problems (I haven't tried looking for an installation log), but when restarting it does not boot.
I get the following messages:
For context, preceding this message, it tells me: Intel Boot Agent GE v1.3.27 and a series of MAC address, IPsPXE-E32: TFTP open timeout
PXE-M0F: Exiting intel Boot Agent
Boot failure
Troubleshooting I've done so far:
Re-installed Linux Mint 21.1 Vera Cinnamon - same result
Installed Linux Mint 21.1 Vera Xfce - same result
Installed Linux Mint 21 Vanessa Cinnamon - same result
Installed Linux Mint 20 Ulyana Cinnamon - boots fine
I would rather install Linux Mint 21.X for the long term support.
Googling the error, most issues seem to be related to server installs; I haven't found one applicable to PC operative system install.
I'd appreciate help troubleshooting.
Thanks!
