From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have another kernel option for you to try: "earlyprintk is useful when the kernel crashes before the normal console is initialized. It is not enabled by default because it has some cosmetic problems."
I'm not sure if it gets you anywhere, but it could make the fist kernel messages show up.
And you could try replacing the
acpi=offwithacpi=noirq. If it's something with the interrputs, there are extra options likeapic=irqfixupornolapic(mind the difference apic <-> acpi). (Taken from this document)I had the time to google a bit and I was right, I am about to run out of ideas. There is a good general guide in the arch wiki on how to approach issues:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/General_troubleshooting#Boot_problems
Maybe also read that, but that's pretty much it.
Wow thank you so much for keeping up on it!
I tried the earlyprintk options, but unfortunately none of them did work. Neither did the orher acpi options show up something, I do still have the exact same behaviour :(
I will work through the troubleshoot link you pasted, thank you as well for that.
Appreciate your help, I guess I‘ll start thinking about replacing the mobo
Yeah, I'm slowly getting to the same conclusion. You could try and rip out all other non-essential components to rule them out. If there are any. And go through the BIOS options once more, switch everything to "Other OS" and try the "legacy" modes for ACPI, boot etc. But at this point I somehow doubt any of this will make any difference. Just make sure the next mobo is alright 😆
got some news. I don't think, that it might change something, but who knows.
I added in grub the option "insmod progress" (which I found by googling somewhere). It should show, if kernel and initrd do load or not and now I can see, that the vmlinuz and initrd are loading to 100% and after that it hangs. So it looks like the kernel loads but then stucks.
As said before, I don't think that this might change something in regards to further tests with my actual mobo, but I didn't want to left that out ...
Ah nice. At least something. But I don't think it'll change anything since it's still grub outputting that, and not a life sign from the kernel.
