Comment 58 for bug 1530405

I had the exact same issue with Asus -> N552VW

It would boot the livecd once from a cold boot, after reboot I got the same error as above and it would hang during boot, it would refuse to every boot again.

The workaround from kngharv worked fine however.

Also I discovered enabling secure-boot also worked (although you have to disable that to install Nvidia driver)

What can we do to make this work out the box on affected h/w ?

I can imagine a newbie trying out Linux for the first time on their Asus laptop and just thinking Linux doesn't work.
