Hi there, I have a very bizarre issue that has been consistent for quite some time now. At first, it would boot into a post screen saying
“Loading Linux linux-zen …
452: out of range pointer: 0x87be7020
Aborted. Press any key to exit._”
and I was able to fix it thanks to this lovely forum post htps://forum.garudalinux.org/t/error-on-booting-452-out-of-range/22109/
However, recently it started occurring more often, especially after long periods of PC usage. If I use my PC for many hours and then turn it off, the likelihood of the issue appearing is quite high.
This no longer gives me any post errors or messages, it simply freezes on my bios logo screen being completely unresponsive. I can’t enter bios and can’t input anything. What I have to do is turn off the PC, unplug both of my system drives, plug in a live ventoy bootdrive with garuda on it, turn it on and then it off once on the ventoy screen. Once that is done, I plug in my drives and this somehow refreshes my uefi and gets me into the next screen. After, I can get past the bios/into the bios but I then get a new message error at post.
Booting -garuda linux
Loading linux linux-zen …

No snapshots work at this point
I update my PC quite regularly but I have slowed down because after every update it would cause the issue to appear again and I would have to manually update grub every time.
I have read the wiki and searched this issue online numerous times but I can never seem to find a long term solution, it always tells me to chroot and update grub. Which I always do but it is only a temporary fix until the next boot. What is strange is that this issue happens unprovoked. I can go a few days without upgrades/installing any updates and it would still happen making me believe this is not linked to garuda-update.
I tried many forum posts on here too. Like this one Error on booting "452 out of range" - #11 by advancedcaveman and this one Can't boot after update: symbol 'grub_is_shim_lock_enabled' not found But they don’t seem to cover a long term solution.
Including the steps above, this is what I have to do in a live garuda session every time
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/broken
sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/broken
sudo garuda-chroot /mnt/broken/@
mount /dev/sdb1 /boot/efi
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=garuda --recheck
update-grub
I am quite at a loss here. Any ideas? Thanks a lot.
Edit: As I rebooted to get a fresh inxi, it happened again and I had to liveboot. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
