ayan: can you clarify: what do you mean by “after loading the boot menu”? Specifically do you mean:

1. you’re very quickly plugging in when you see the framework logo?
2. you’re pausing at the device-selector bios screen, and then calmly plugging in?
3. some other screen?

Asking because I am _only_ able to get to the framework logo - otherwise my only way to see bios screens is via `sudo systemctl reboot --firmware-setup` (and that’s not a boot-selector, obviously).

In case it’s helpful for debugging I’ll try go come back here and post what my `boot` menu settings look like in the bios - maybe there’s a particular set of configurations we should have…
