I’m still in the “configure the BIOS” stage of setting-up my Laptop 16; no OS has yet been installed.
In the BIOS (which I upgraded to 3.05), “Quiet Boot” is set to “Disabled”, which, if I’m reading the text correctly, should enable “booting in Text Mode.”
After saving and rebooting, the screen is dark for around 30 seconds, then, for a fraction of a second, this can be seen in the upper-left corner of the screen:
This blurry image was taken from a 60fps video I had to make to capture the fleeting text. There are two of these images, both the same, so this “text mode” boot only lasts 33.3 milliseconds.
How can the Framework Laptop 16 be configured to display a proper text boot (one which shows text for longer than a fraction of a second)?
Very interesting. I changed my BIOS “Timeout” setting from “0” to “5”, and that let the “text” message display for five seconds. Thank you for that suggestion.
But, that change did not affect the 30 seconds between power-up and that message; that 30 seconds remains blank. What setting is needed for the BIOS to begin displaying boot status immediately after power-up?
I’m having the same issue and for me it’s my external devices / docking stations I have plugged in. FW seems to enumerate all devices before booting. When I remove all USB cables, this message appears in a few seconds.
With my test, I have no external devices / docking stations / etc, just expansion port modules.
I created a ticket for this and am working with the support folks to try to figure this out; when I get a solution (or at least a workaround), I’ll update this thread.
