hi everyone,
My up to date Qubes 4 / Thinkpad X1 Carbon refuses to boot.
Boot time to BIOS screen is 15 minutes or so. Bypassing BIOS to boot screen, I
select Qubes, five minutes pass, and I return to boot screen.
I double checked all my BIOS settings. I also removed and reconnected the
battery and CMOS battery.
Should I reflash the BIOS? I see many many complaints online of similar
problems, but all contains Windows-based solutions.
Bricked right now. Would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
thanks,
jmp
15 mins to BIOS screen implies a problem with the hardware.
Mike.
Thanks, Mike.
I can’t rule out the possibility of a hardware failure, but hours of googling
this issue turns up a lot of frustrated Windows users who found software-based
solutions.
How can I isolate the issue to determine if it is, in fact, a hardware issue or
not?
thanks,
hmp
If it takes 15mins before the BIOS screen shows up, then you can't run
any software in that time, because the Bios hasn't finished starting.
This isn't a Qubes issue, so you will be more likely to get an answer in
other forums, like a Thinkpad one.
Mike.
