Hi all, I’m having some serious issues booting my FW13.
I had a somewhat minimal Fedora installation that was stable and suited my needs - however because of working with Playwright for a bit I had moved over to a Debian 13 install, and it worked okay for what I needed.
However, on moving back to Fedora (initially the Fedora 43 Sway spin, which produced these errors, then the Fedora Workstation 43 official distro) I’ve been encountering many, many issues.
I can almost never get the laptop to boot - sometimes it passes the splash screen and just sits on a black screen forever, other times I get lots of kernel errors, failing to start Plymouth, failing to mount lots of things across the OS. Of note is that the first boot is fine, it’s any subsequent restarts where it encounters lots of errors.
I’ve been using Fedora Media Writer on another device to setup the USB; I’ve tried writing directly using Gnome disk manager and onto a different flash drive but found the same issues
RAM checks seem fine, SMART stats seem fine.
I tried updating BIOS to the newest version and still have the same problems.
Another Fedora install I had directly on the 250gb expansion card (which I don’t recommend) did boot fine, it’s only new installs directly on my SSD.
Sorry if this doesn’t have the most useful information - not sure what to do at this point.
