## Troubleshooting

### UEFI bootloader not found

Note: Make sure you have the latest HP UEFI firmware installed.

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 `\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi` 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

This article or section is being considered for removal.

Reason: Duplicates Unified Extensible Firmware Interface#UEFI boot loader does not show up in firmware menu. (Discuss in Talk:Laptop/HP)
Warning:

- This method is not recommended, as it will create conflicts in a dual boot setup with Microsoft Windows. Also, everytime you install GRUB, you have to remember to copy it to the hard coded path.
- If you are trying to boot on a the mSATA port (m.2 SSD), this is the only working method.

Change the UEFI application path of the OS boot loader to that hard coded path. On your EFI system partition; e.g. with `esp` being the EFI system partition mountpoint:

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

or

    # mkdir -p esp/EFI/BOOT
    # cp esp/EFI/grub/grubx64.efi esp/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: [1] [2]

### 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:

    /etc/systemd/system/sleep.conf

    [Sleep]
    HibernateMode=shutdown

This file tells systemd to write `shutdown` instead of `platform` to `/sys/power/disk` before writing `disk` to `/sys/power/state`.

### Pavilion au624tx

For making the mute LED work, append `model=alc295-hp-x360` to `snd-hda-intel`'s kernel module parameters.

### Omen 15 ax210TX

For making the mute LED work, append `model=hp-mute-led-mic3` to `snd-hda-intel`'s kernel module parameters.

### EliteBook U82 family (835 G9/845 G9/865 G9/845 G10)

#### Flickering or constant solid white screen

Upgrade to kernel >= 6.2.7 and add the following to your kernel boot parameters:

    amdgpu.sg_display=0

Check it the parameter was applied successfully with:

    $ cat /proc/cmdline

Driver issue tracker: GitLab

#### CPU Freq locked at 400-500MHz after AC power unplugged

For EliteBook 845 G10 with AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7840HS, the CPU frequency may be locked at 400-544MHz when switched to battery, a workaround is to blacklist the `amd_pmf` module.

    /etc/modprobe.d/cpufreq.conf

    blacklist amd-pmf
