I am on a Lenovo x1 Carbon (7th gen) and I went through the process of installing Parrot to replace the OEM OS(Windows) and all went well, or so I thought.
I had already disabled a litany of security settings to that I could get to live boot,but Once I made it through and got to the point to First boot parrot I received and error message saying that my PC/device needs to be repaired.
I used both non encrypted, Encrypted LVM using the guided methods and couldn’t get through to the OS regardless of my efforts.
The partitions made and assigned to were:
nvme0n1p1 537mb fat32 esp,boot
nvme0n1p2 640mb ext4 /boot
nvme0n1p3 LVM Encrypted 500GB btrfs /
LVM Encrypted 10.9gb swap swap
(checked both during install and running in Live Mode)
All of that is currently on the machine, but still is refusing to boot
I am figuring it is a UEFI/BIOS issue not knowing how or where to boot from, but not sure what to do or how to track and fix the issue, HELP ME PLEASE SOS!!!
I used Rufus to F|ash, Could that be it? I have had secure boot disabled every time I run/ran live mode.
I am not sure what AHCI is though?
I am going to flash with Ethcher soon.
I will keep you posted! Thanks so much for the Help and Reply!
So this didn’t work either, it is still not booting
I have my bios secure boot disabled
IDK what AHCI is
UEFI only
Boot Order is locked at USB -> nvme0(where install should be) -> nvme1-> cd and others not attached to the machine
I tracked down most of the windows based securities in the bios(since it is oem Windows) and disabled them.
I am not sure if any of that would be affecting the systems boot process or why it is refusing to boot
So I solved it! I am not booting straight into grub and subsequently decrypting my drive and running, but I have hit a new issue.
For some reason I can not get my wifi to work. It keeps saying module is unmanaged. and switching back and forth with module not ready I tried to fix this by modifying the NetworkManager.conf with a true flag replacing the false in the managed field and restarted my network manager which also failed to start.
ifconfig is not recognizing the module, but I get it recognized with iwconfig and it seems normal.
I checked my /etc/network/interfaces and noticed I only have the lo interface.
