18.1 Legacy Series / 18.1 puts my box into a boot loop.
« on: February 13, 2018, 06:40:31 pm »
was running 17.7x, did the webGUI update to 18.1, and it worked fine, until i rebooted.
it boots the EFI, loads all the .ko files, shows blue text BOOTING, and then resets the box, loop.
(box: HP sff 6300, i3, 8gb, booting off 16gb sata SSD, two intel nics.)
okay fine, i'll do a fresh install...
burn the 18.1 to to a dvd, boot to that, loop.
wipe the SSD, just be sure it's not affecting the bootup. boot to the dvd, loop.
download the 18.1 .img file and write to a usb thumb drive, boot to that, loop.
write the image directly to the SSD, boot off that, loop.
...
download 17.7.5 installed that. everything is fine. reboots fine.
