My Linux Mint Cinnamon won’t boot up. It’s getting stuck on this screen and I don’t know what to do to proceed. Before this screen appears it shows the LM logo for a moment.
I’m a total noob and just been using this for a month or two. Did not make any recent changes that I can recall.
Did your computer lose its bios settings lately? Check to see if it’s set to ahci and not raid if using a single, non-raid disk.
You can try some of the suggestions at https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/how-can-we-fix-this-no-irq-handler-for-vector-4175692269/, too.
Good luck
Possibly - the laptop battery died and the first thing when turning it on was to set system time in BIOS. But it’s not the first time doing that, just the first time it didn’t boot afterwards.
