Which Framework Laptop 16 model are you using? AMD Ryzen™ AI 300 Series
My Framework 16 has two SSDs. I installed Windows 11 on the first, and I’m trying to install Ubuntu 24.04 on the second.
After selecting to “Install Ubuntu” the process begins but gets stuck when the message “RDSEED32 is broken. Disabling the corresponding CPUID bit.”
Tapping the power button will bring back the loading screen, but then it freezes.
To my knowledge, I have run all possible updates. Additionally, I added “clearcpuid-reseed” on the linux line of the GRUB boot menu, though I’m not completely confident I did this correctly.
Any help is greatly appreciated. In the meantime, I’m stuck using Windows
This may not be helpful, but my wife and I just setup a dual-boot on her Framework 16, but the GNU/Linux distro is Debian sid (installed testing and then switched the repos to sid), so I’d be surprised if Ubuntu fails to work here.
If you edit the boot options to not have quiet (I think the defaults are probably quiet splash — remove both of those), do you see any additional errors?
I really hope this is a typo. The latest kernel version available in Jammy seems to be 6.17. If your installer is giving you kernel 4.4, there’s a problem.
Hi, I have exactly the same issue with my HP Victus 15-fb3012nf RTX 5060 Ryzen AI 5 340. The only difference is that I want to dual boot on the same SSD. Same error, same message, same symptoms, same behaviour. I spent 3 hours with HP support’s AI bot and a 10 min with a real human who ended saying me HP support doesn’t take Linux in charge. Can you explain me in detail how to fix the problem? Please it’s 2 days now I’m struggling…
The real fix is a BIOS update, but while you are waiting for a BIOS update, the temporary workaround (not a complete fix) is to disable Plymouth so that it doesn’t cause the boot process to fail.
The RDSEED32 is not a problem. The PC should boot and install without a problem with or without that message.
The install problem is elsewhere.
In the past, i have found that installing linux first, then installing windows works better.
You could try removing the ssd with windows on it. Install linux on the other and then insert the windows ssd back in after.
The Ubuntu install program is rubbish. Unless the disk configuration is exactly what the ubuntu installer expects, it generally does not work.
For example, the debian installer works for a much larger variety of disk configurations.
This is why removing the windows ssd might help. Ubuntu installer is more likely to be ok with it.
Note: i raised ubuntu bug reports about the ubuntu installer 3 years ago. None of them have been fixed.
This is a framework community, meant for framework devices. HP discussions are not suitable here, i suggest you go to HP community for this or any other community unless Framework has a off-topic section for non-framework devices.
Since right now you’re posting in a topic relating the Framework 16 laptop and HP is way out of bounds when it comes to this, since HP is not part of Framework.
I had already installed Windows on one SSD before installing Ubuntu.
The quickest solution was to remove the Windows SSD, install Ubuntu on the remaining SSD, then reinstall the Windows SSD.
Everything has been working fine since! Expect for when I have to use Windows. Then air quotes are needed around “worked” (this is a Microsoft joke, not an actual issue).
Just for info. The RDSEED32 does not affect anything that a user will notice.
It simply asks crypto libraries to not use that instruction. The crypto library will simply use alternatives.
A user will not notice any performance difference.
The RDSEED32 message in the logs can be safely ignored.
Make sure the SSD is seated correctly (does it show up in the UEFI or in Windows?).
