Product: 8530w
Operating System: Linux

Hi,

 

My laptop, a HP Elitebook 8530w, is 6 years old, and, albeit rather fast for its age, not fast enough to properly run Windows 10. So I decided to install Ubuntu 15.10. Running from an USB-stick, Ubuntu made the laptop relive again, and it looks way nicer than Windows too. Anyway, I installed Ubuntu onto the hard drive (a 5400rpm HDD), and, to run Ubuntu from the hard drive, I was supposed to reboot. Sadly, I got this error:

 

ACPI PCC  probe failed

tpm_tis 00:01: A ATPM error (7) occurred attempting to read a pcr value

Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:

- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)

  - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)

  - Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)

- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)

ALERT! /dev/dis/by-uuid/a2f80475-78a1-4a4e-8d94-dcd74620a724 does not exist.

Dropping to a shell!

 

Busybox v1.22.1 (Ubuntu 1:1.22.0-15ubuntu1) buit-in shell (ash)

Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands

 

(initramfs)

 

After a little reading up on TPM, and this problem in general, I tried switching TPM on and off in the BIOS (as administrator, with password), but to no avail. And I have the feeling other Linux distros have this same problem, since most of them run on the same kernel.

 

How do I fix this problem? 

 

Thanks,

   Christiaan

Ubuntu is not supported on your system which means you need to go to a Ubuntu forum and ask for support from there.

-------- Looking for HP driver support When Windows 10 O/S isn't Supported ------
Windows 10 drivers may be available through Windows Update

Click 'Learn More' below for steps on using Windows Update to determine what drivers might be available for your product. Please be aware that HP does not guarantee Windows 10 drivers will be available from Windows Update.

BTW, Millions of folks have gone back from Win10 to their prior O/S -- something you don't hear about from MS. by WAWood but ALL to TRUE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Those that want HD Gaming should plan to invest in a Gaming Laptop to handle those requirements. Eamples GTA V or Crysis 3.

Hi,

This looks like the bootloander can't find the boot partition. I don't think it's a serious issue. Follow this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1127779
