I’ve been using Fedora for several years without any problems. Recently, my SSD started having issues, so I bought a new one and installed it in my laptop. I checked the BIOS, and the laptop recognizes the new SSD. Then, I used Ventoy to boot a live Fedora 42 ISO and installed the system.
After a successful installation and reboot, I removed the USB stick. I got notifications about critical updates, so I installed them. However, after the next reboot, I encountered a “No bootable device” message, forcing me to shut down the laptop manually.
When I turned it on again, the GRUB menu appeared, and I was able to select my Fedora 42 installation. But after selecting it, the boot process starts and freezes at the Acer logo.
Additionally, the laptop no longer detects the USB drive during boot.
One thing I did before the installlation Is disabling Secure Boot in the BIOS and changing the SATA mode from “RST with Optane” to “AHCI” because Fedora couldn’t detect the new SSD otherwise.
My laptop model is Acer Swift 3 SF314-54.
I understand pictures are discouraged, but I only have this at the moment.
