Hi all,
Long story as short as possible:
Lenovo Ideapad 3. I had windows 11 on SSD. Installed Ubuntu on HDD, dual boot with windows on SSD. Later decided I like Linux, no need for Windows. Installed Kubuntu on the SSD. Worked fine. Manually deleted partitions etc on HDD, made it one big partition for backintime and timeshift to use. All is good.
Now, when booting the laptop, it will start (I can hear the HDD spin up, and I see the screen come on, but nothing displays) then the laptop switches off, and immediately comes on again as above. This happens three times, on the fourth reboot the system starts normally. I have tried changing every single setting in the BIOS, no difference. I do not know much about grub, it seems OK to me, but the problem is probably there.
Please, does anybody know what I can do to fix this?
Thanks!
Some info below:
There is a lot of stuff in /boot/grub/grub.cfg, let me know if I should post it.
