Hi @Kerim98,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To access advanced BIOS settings and make changes related to ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) for installing a Linux OS on your HP Pavilion i7-8th Gen notebook, follow these steps.

Access BIOS/UEFI

• Turn off your laptop.
• Turn it back on and immediately start pressing the Esc or F10 key repeatedly to enter the BIOS setup (the correct key can vary, but Esc or F10 should work on HP laptops).
• You will be directed to the BIOS or UEFI settings screen.

Enable Advanced BIOS Settings

Most consumer laptops, including HP Pavilion models, do not expose advanced settings in the BIOS, such as direct control over ACPI modes. However, if advanced options are hidden, you may not be able to unlock them without specific firmware tools, which are generally not available to end users.

Check for ACPI Settings

• Once in BIOS, look for options related to ACPI (if available). This might be under the "Power" or "Advanced" tabs, though these are often not directly visible in most laptops.
• You might find power management settings, but if you're looking to tweak ACPI specifically for Linux installations, most modern Linux distributions handle ACPI automatically.

Update BIOS

If you're not finding the settings you need, it could help to update your BIOS to the latest version, as newer BIOS updates sometimes expose more settings or improve Linux compatibility.

Use Boot Parameters for Linux Installation

If you're having trouble installing Linux due to ACPI-related issues, you can try passing boot parameters to the Linux kernel. When booting from the Linux installer, try adding the following boot parameters:

• acpi=off
• acpi_osi=!
• acpi_osi=Linux

To do this:

1. Start your Linux installer.
2. When you see the boot menu, press e to edit the boot options.
3. Add the desired parameters at the end of the boot command line and press Ctrl + X to boot.

This can help bypass certain ACPI-related issues during installation.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
