Hello @stackoverflower :wink:

LANG=C errno 110                                
ETIMEDOUT 110 Connection timed out

My guess is that it loads the firmware, but cannot connect to the wifi card. The reason could be that the wifi card has not been properly initialized by the BIOS/UEFI.

What can be done?

  1. Disable “fast boot”, enable “full initialization”, or how ever it is called on the settings at your BIOS/UEFI.
  2. If no option is there, then try to put something like PXE BOOT (and simliar) on top at the boot priority. This ensures on some broken UEFIs that the Wifi card will not be skipped at the initialization.
