You seem to have a configuration error in your /etc/default/grub configuration file. You have the following line:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" pcie_aspm=force acpi=noirq i915.semaphores=1

Notice how some parameters appear outside of the quotation marks. This is incorrect and the line should look like:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pcie_aspm=force acpi=noirq i915.semaphores=1"

Thanks and good luck!
