Why does my laptop Aspire 17 not boot into Ubuntu after installation ?

curano

I installed Ubuntu on a brandnew Aspire 17.
Installation completed.
When I reboot the system turns back to a Windows Installation procedure.
I didn't find any thing in BIOS to fix this.
This is not a dual boot, just Ubuntu 24.04 alone.

Any ideas ?

Long story short, solution is to set nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=5500 kernel option at boot. Then installation works out-of-box. After installing the same option needs to be added to grub (edit /etc/default/grub followed with update-grub). Also read this Problems installing Ubuntu on Acer laptop. Good luck and hope this helps you out.

Thanks for the detailed explanation! I’ve been struggling with this issue, so I’ll definitely try setting the kernel option and updating grub as you mentioned. Appreciate the tip about checking the Ubuntu install problems on Acer laptops too. Fingers crossed it works! :)
