Lenovo boot

[Fred Claus]

Ok, just an update. The screen still flashes three times. Then I get the Lenovo logo, then the verbose. Here is what my GRUB file says. Also, in the BIOS
Boot Priority is Legacy First
Fast Boot is off, PXE Boot to LAN is off
Flip to Boot is Off
BIOS Back Flash is on

It's not just Linux. It's any OS. As I mentioned above there are generally 2 splash screens. One is the OEM and one is the OS. Usually both of them have options to be verbose or not during the boot process.

I've got a T450 that I have verbose turned on in BIOS. I see the entries related to TPM, boot options, etc. MS OS's usually have verbose turned off. In Linux implementation varies but can usually be adjusted by editing /etc/default/grub.

I'm always doing this. Someone tells me how to fix something and then I go off and try something else. If I would have just listened it would have been fixed. I tried wiping the entire thing and starting over, and guess what? It worked. The screen flickers once then I get the splash screen and all is good.
