Boot issue on Ubuntu 22.04 following GPU replacement.
Boot issue on Ubuntu 22.04 following GPU replacement.
Hello, I'm working on converting my PC into a NAS. It functioned well with Ubuntu 22.04 Server during initial setup. But after replacing a bigger GPU with an older one to free space for HDDs, it starts looping when powered on. I can access the boot menu and see CPU and RAM details, but not further. I've tried swapping the GPU back or using another good one, yet the issue remains. The system seems broken right now. Since I can't reach the CLI, I'm unsure how to proceed with troubleshooting. Any suggestions?
On Windows platforms, it's advisable to remove all outdated video drivers and reset the OS to its default (generic) VGA settings before replacing graphics cards. I haven't done this before, even when switching between AMD and Nvidia cards, but my Ubuntu 22.04 version has resisted the change and is now corrupted. I'm not very familiar with Ubuntu, so the only straightforward solution would be to reinstall on another drive to check compatibility with the new GPU. If that succeeds, you can move your files from the old drive to the new one and continue using it. Good luck.
Restarted the operating system and found no bootable drive. Removed and rebuilt my RAID 1 setup to enable booting, but it's functioning now. Appreciate the assistance!
