Have you heard any details about this boot sequence?
I did a clean install of Pop OS today from Windows and this is how my boot options look like. I remember that there was only one boot option when there was windows. So this is what I've done so far... 1. Disabled Secure boot and installed pop from live usb. 2. After all the steps and when the prompt for reboot/shut down came, i pulled out the drive thinking that it may boot from the drive and will start the installation again. (Guess this is the part that screwd up most of it.) 3. The screen suddenly became frozen and when tried to move around with trackpad, a black screen saying SQUASHFS error: unable to read page was seen. Within a few sec the whole screen was filled with that and it started scrolling so fast. 4. Felt like some infinite loop and there was no change after pressing the power button or even closing the laptop. The same scrolling loop was still there for ½hr and was able to get out after long pressing power button for couple of sec 5. On the next boot i got the pop os welcome screen and till now the os and I/O seems to be fine. But at every boot there's no pop os boot animation or anything... it's just black screen(backlight is on) for some time and the login page is shown. 6. When tried to enable secure boot in bios, 'Secure boot violation.. invalid signature' error is coming up.. So my question is ....is there anything wrong with that kinda boot order...and is it normal that there's no boot logo/animation...will it cause any other trouble with the hdd in the future ... I've checked the harddrive with disk utility (SMART) and it says disk is OK. The reason for moving from windows is the monthly surprise crashes...hope to have something future proof.
Hi, have you attempted to reinstall popOS? If yes, did the same issue recur? A potential reason for the SQUASHFS error could be that you removed the installation medium prematurely, causing the system to search for something it couldn't find. I’d doubt it’s a major problem since the installation should have completed before you restarted anyway. To be certain, simply reinstall popOS. If you decide to do so, wait until the installation prompts you to remove the medium and then reboot (like "Remove installation medium and press enter to restart"). Regarding the boot order, I don’t see any obvious problems. Concerning the boot logo, it’s not crucial if you don’t notice it. Hope this clears things up.

This indicates the install media was removed early while squashfs remained mounted. Since you were prepared to restart, it shouldn<|pad|> to cause no issues. When this occurs, simply force a shutdown and then restart. I don’t know PopOS!, but this is typical for many distros. It suggests either the splash screen wasn’t set up or a Graphical instance failed to launch at boot. This is expected, as unsigned boot loaders are normal. Just ensure Secure Boot is disabled. You should notice a Grub menu during startup to switch between Linux and Windows. If not, you can choose the boot device in your BIOS menu.
It commonly occurs that during OS installation, the system creates a boot menu entry in the BIOS/UEFI that stays until you change it. Likely the second "UEFI OS" entry comes from your prior Windows setup. On my testing machine, which I often upgrade with new operating systems, there are many boot choices for now-defunct OSes. This isn't a cause for concern and you can safely overlook it.
