Complete hardware reboot is acceptable when we perform hardware firmware upgrade or other hardware related changes but rebooting entire hardware along with ESXi reboot during simple host patch or even during host upgrades is one of the time-consuming tasks. With the modern datacenter and high-end servers installed with GB’s & TB’s of memory took look time to initialize the hardware during ESXi host reboot. Diff VCenter 5.5 appliance and vCenter on WIndowsĪs a VMware administrator, most of our efforts in vSphere infrastructure is patching and upgrading your vSphere apart from the Production support.Still doesn't seem logical at all to me though. I then immediately went into the bios, disabled CSM and enabled Fast Boot and it actually worked.īoot times now obviously significantly increased and my problem seems to be solved.

This time the install went without any grub issues and I was able to complete the installation. Anyway, I chose that partition to boot from and luckily the Mint installer recognized it as UEFI and asked if I wanted to install the OS as UEFI too. Then when I booted into the bootmenu, my laptop actually recognized the UEFI partition on the usb stick while it was in CSM mode. very weird.įirst off I turned fast boot off and CSM on again. So what I ended up doing in order to fix this was. Of course, not matter how often I tried, this was never the case.

VivoBook-Flip-14-ASUS-Flip-TP412UA Kernel: 4.15.0-54-generic x86_64Įdit: I tried to install Mint one time choosing the UEFI option in the install menu but then the install failed when it needed to install Grub for some reason. So I get the feeling I am either not understanding something here (most likely) or this is just not an option. Is it possible to enable fast boot now (when Mint is already installed) so the boot time improves? I remember trying this before but then my notebook would not boot to Mint at all and went straight to the BIOS screen for some reason. This means that everytime I boot my laptop, it will do a full POST taking up quite some time. My problem is however that if I have Secure Boot disabled and Launch CSM enabled, the option for 'Fast Boot' is not visible anymore. I tried a couple of times to install without changing these options but then I could either not boot from a USB stick or the installation failed at some point. I have installed Linux Mint 19.1 successfully but noticed that, in order to do so, I needed to disable 'secure boot control' and enable 'launch CSM' in my BIOS.
