Hi folks,
I have this very annoying issue whereby my dual-boot setup freezes at the Manjaro GRUB bootloader screen. The timer is stuck on 5 seconds and the keyboard is unresponsive.
I initially thought it was to do with my external display which is connected to a USB-C/HDMI hub however, further troubleshooting has confirmed that this isn’t the issue.
I can confirm 100% that the issue occurs when I have an active USB device connected to any port on my laptop (x2 USB-C and x1 USB=A).
I’m guessing this has something to do with my laptop BIOS. The BIOS has an option to disabled BIOS, but there are no options to enable Legacy USB. When I detach the USB devices, the laptop will boot to GRUB just fine. Oddly, if I tap F9 which brings up the BIOS bootloader, I can then select Manjaro from the list and it will then load the Manjaro GRUB with the USB devices attached, so it works this way.
I still can’t work out why it is freezing like this. I use an external monitor and usually don’t even open the lid of my laptop but now I have to otherwise I won’t be able to boot into Manjaro.
- Is there a fix somewhere I am overlooking, maybe in the BIOS?
- Is there some way to disable GRUB completely and force my laptop to use the BIOS bootloader screen (F9 on startup). This allows me to select Windows/Manjaro and it will boot just fine with USB devices connected.
- Is there something in GRUB I can try disabling that would help? Here is my GRUB config
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet apparmor=1 security=apparmor udev.log_priority=3"

Eventually I want to get rid of Windows completely, but even when I do, this will still be an issue. I would really appreciate your help with this. Thank you!
