Update: reinstalling fedora, it’s extremely slow and it’s going beyond 100%. I fkd up didn’t I?
Another case of “normie wants to ditch W11 for Linux and got backed into a corner”.
I have used Linux for a while about 20 years ago, however installing it on a modern machine is new to me.
Timeline/Data:
-Recent Dell XPS laptop
-Decrypted the SSD in W11 through shell
-Booted Fedora 42 from a usb (everything works, yay!)
-Installed on the entire disc (as intended, byebye W11)
-Reboot=> Bios doesn’t see the SSD anymore, a few reboots later I get a prompt to enter my “code” (not the typical bitlocker screen, I assume my Windows Pin?), before I even get the chance to select the damn prompt it’s already gone. After which Bios reset itself to og settings (secure boot and whatnot)
-Bios still doesn’t see the SSD.
-Fedora live does see the SSD.
What do I do now? Thx in advance!
KDE or GNOME its the same installer. In both they ask if you want automatic partitioning or manual.
My bet is there could be some bitlocker partition somewhere still alive. Or your bios assuming a bitlocker encrypted partition. Maybe put some of the bios security features down for testing.
Currently reinstalling, it’s going extremely slow and it’s at 109%. The bar isn’t even a tenth of the whole.
I’ll keep you guys updated.
