Troubleshooting
UEFI bootloader not found
Note: Make sure you have the latest HP UEFI firmware installed.
Even if UEFI, Arch Linux and (e.g.) GRUB are correctly configured and with the correct UEFI NVRAM variables set, the system may not boot from the HDD/SSD. The problem is that HP hard coded the paths for the OS boot manager in their UEFI boot manager to \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi to boot Microsoft Windows, regardless of how the UEFI NVRAM variables are changed. There are two workarounds:
Using the "Customized Boot" path option (recommended, may not be available for all models)
The latest HP firmware allows defining a “Customized Boot” path in the UEFI pre-boot graphical environment. Select the “Customized Boot” option in the UEFI pre-boot graphical environment under “Boot Options” and set the path to your OS boot loader on the ESP (see EFI system partition), e.g.:
\EFI\grub\grubx64.efi
Always verify the correct path to the .efi file. Also, adjust the device boot order (also in the UEFI pre-boot graphical environment) to boot this entry first.
Change the OS boot loader path to match the hard coded path
Warning:
- This method is not recommended, as it will create conflicts in a dual boot setup with Microsoft Windows. Also, everytime you install GRUB, you have to remember to copy it to the hard coded path.
- If you are trying to boot on a the mSATA port (m.2 SSD), this is the only working method.
Change the UEFI application path of the OS boot loader to that hard coded path.
On your ESP (see EFI system partition; e.g. with the $MOUNTPOINT /boot/efi), do (e.g. with GRUB entry grub_archlinux):
# mkdir -p $MOUNTPOINT/EFI/Microsoft/Boot # cp $MOUNTPOINT/EFI/grub/grubx64.efi $MOUNTPOINT/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
or
# mkdir -p $MOUNTPOINT/EFI/Boot # cp $MOUNTPOINT/EFI/grub/grubx64.efi $MOUNTPOINT/EFI/Boot/Bootx64.efi
Fan noise
Since Linux 4.1x laptop's fan may not spin down to a lower rev step (and noise) effectively appearing stuck at higher spinning speed with no apparent temperature reason. Possible workarounds are loading a 3D application, a quick suspend to ram or power off for more than 10 minutes. If those tricks do not work, the max CPU frequency can be set to a lower one. See CPU frequency scaling#Setting maximum and minimum frequencies. Related: [1] [2]
Compaq 8510w
Follow the steps outlined in Suspend and hibernate#Hibernation. The suspend to disk process works correctly but the laptop does not power itself off. To fix this create the following file:
/etc/systemd/system/sleep.conf
[Sleep] HibernateMode=shutdown
This file tells systemd to write shutdown instead of platform to /sys/power/disk before writing disk to /sys/power/state.
Compaq nc8000
Install TLP if suspend to ram fails.
Pavilion au624tx
For making mute led work, create the following file:
/etc/modprobe.d/mute.conf
options snd-hda-intel model=alc295-hp-x360
Omen 15 ax210TX
Mute LED
For making the mute LED work, append model=hp-mute-led-mic3 to snd-hda-intel's kernel module options.
