System reboot to BIOS boot menu

[Mike Ferreira]

Ever since update of Linux kernel to 6.2.0-26, this laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad T520) on reboot, goes to a boot loop directly to the BIOS Boot menu. On <Cntrl><Alt><Delete> from there, still stuck in that loop.

It displays an error message just before the BIOS Boot menu, but flashes by too fast to actually make out what is there.

If it shutdown, and cold boot, it boots normally to the Grub2 Boot menu.

There is a problem somewhere.

This machine is ZFS-On-Root. Another User says he is having this same problem, but on an LVM2 install. The common denominator seems to be the update to Linux kernel 6.2.0-26.

This may or may not be related... But I seem to have a lot of canonical-livepatch errors.

[Mike Ferreira (mafoelffen)]

This is still affected with Linux kernel 6.2.0-33-genric on this laptop. Nothing has changed. It still will not do a "reboot" without ending up at a BIOS Boot menu.

[Mike Ferreira (mafoelffen)]

Is same with kernel 6.2.0-37-generic.

But, is resolved if I use boot parameter "reboot=acpi" in /etc/default/grub

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Using this reboot=acpi parameter does not work for me to resolve the issue at all.
