Troubleshooting

UEFI bootloader not found

Even if UEFI, Arch Linux and (e.g.) GRUB are correctly configured and with the correct UEFI NVRAM variables set, the system may not boot from the HDD/SSD. The problem is that HP hard coded the paths for the OS boot manager in their UEFI boot manager to to boot Microsoft Windows, regardless of how the UEFI NVRAM variables are changed. There are two workarounds:

Using the "Customized Boot" path option (recommended, may not be available for all models)

The latest HP firmware allows defining a “Customized Boot” path in the UEFI pre-boot graphical environment. Select the “Customized Boot” option in the UEFI pre-boot graphical environment under “Boot Options” and set the path to your OS boot loader on the ESP (see EFI system partition), e.g.:

\EFI\grub\grubx64.efi

Always verify the correct path to the .efi file. Also, adjust the device boot order (also in the UEFI pre-boot graphical environment) to boot this entry first.

Change the OS boot loader path to match the hard coded path

Change the UEFI application path of the OS boot loader to that hard coded path. On your ESP (see EFI system partition; e.g. with the $MOUNTPOINT ), do (e.g. with GRUB entry ):

 # mkdir -p $MOUNTPOINT/EFI/Microsoft/Boot
 # cp $MOUNTPOINT/EFI/grub/grubx64.efi $MOUNTPOINT/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi

or

 # mkdir -p $MOUNTPOINT/EFI/Boot
 # cp $MOUNTPOINT/EFI/grub/grubx64.efi $MOUNTPOINT/EFI/Boot/Bootx64.efi

Fan noise

Since Linux 4.1x, laptop's fan may not spin down to a lower rev step (and noise) effectively appearing stuck at higher spinning speed with no apparent temperature reason. Possible workarounds are loading a 3D application, a quick suspend to ram or power off for more than 10 minutes. If those tricks do not work, the max CPU frequency can be set to a lower one. See CPU frequency scaling#Setting maximum and minimum frequencies. Related:

Compaq 8510w

Follow the steps outlined in Suspend and hibernate#Hibernation. The suspend to disk process works correctly, but the laptop does not power itself off. To fix this, create the following file:

This file tells systemd to write shutdown instead of to before writing to .

Compaq nc8000

Install TLP if suspend to ram fails.

For making the mute LED work, append to 's kernel module options.

Omen 15 ax210TX

For making the mute LED work, append model=hp-mute-led-mic3 to 's kernel module options.

EliteBook U82 family (835 G9/845 G9/865 G9)

HP EliteBook U82 family (HP EliteBook 835 G9/845 G9/865 G9) has problems with PCIE, WIFI and Bluetooth after BIOS update to version 01.02.01. Older BIOS does not have such problems, but HP blocks downgrading to older BIOS for U82 family laptop.

One workaround is to blacklist the 'hp_wmi' module that causes such problems.

A fix is currently being backported. Bugzilla

gollark: Because solarflame5 doesn't care about privacy and assumes everyone else is obviously wrong if they do, generally, "big boi chummy".
