Reboot after new OS install
Posted: 19 Jan 2025, 23:27
On my T12-423 I've removed the TOS flash drive and installed Ubuntu 24.04 onto a Seagate Iron Wolf drive. Following the install the system powers off and resets itself once the BIOS screen has closed. The system just loops at this point. Reboot -> BIOS -> Reboot -> BIOS -> Reboot.
Looking into the BIOS itself I can see that the UEFI Hard Disk Drive BBS Priorities are all marked as Disable:
Boot Option #1 Disable
Boot Option #2 Disable
I can manually set them to the new Ubuntu boot disk and, if I do that, the system will start fine. Next reboot, Boom! They've all been set to Disable again. It's like something it wiping them out but I have no idea what that could be.
How do I get the system to keep the Boot Options?
