<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi,</div><div>Still no progress, computer is stuck in "Reset System" loop. I have tried both Ubuntu 22 and Linux MInt. Basically I am not familiar with the 'new' UEFI startup system. and things like disable RST, change storage access to AHCI mean nothing to me. I did change setting from UEFI to legacy, but that did not solve problem. Just not sure what to do now. So much for my Christmas prezzie. <br></div><div>Godfrey<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jan 2, 2023 at 11:04 AM Vadim Mankevich <<a href="mailto:vadim@mankevich.co.uk">vadim@mankevich.co.uk</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><u></u><div><div style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><div><div>Could be one of those Lenovo machines that use raid with one drive.

looking for help. Given a new laptop, Lenovo Ideapad 1. Tried it out by
booting from USB stick with Ubuntu 22 and looks great so I installed it -
wiping out previous OS. Now when I start it up all I get is 'reboot
system' or some such message flash on screen and then it goes blank and
reboots - over and over until I power it off.</div><div>I have tried looking for help online, but none of the four suggestions I have tried so far have worked.</div><div><br></div><div>Any suggestions as to what to try next? <br></div><div><br></div><div>Greetings to all,</div><div>Godfrey</div></div>
