Boot device option problem in HP Probook 4540s Laptop..

Hi,
I have installed Fedora20 in my Laptop in a separate partition. After installing it is showing
"Boot loader has not verified loaded image"
"System compromise hault"
error and system went to power off state.
To recover this I need to choos the Boot device in the Boot device option in BIOS as Fedora then it is booting Fedora20 OS.
But in this case, in Boot device option I am getting more Fedora option with the Windows Boot Manager, Boot from EFI options.
Please suggest what is the issue with my Lap and what I need to do to recover this problem.
Best Regards,
Paulpandian M.,

Hi Paulpandian,
I saw two unanswered posts and as I mentioned in the other thread your Probook is a commercial product and you will get more exposure for your issues. Here is a link to the Commercial Notebook forum. I suggest that you post all of your issues in one post so that the experts there can assist you better.
Thank you,

F8 and F9 Boot Device Option doesn't work HP Elitebook 8470p

During the start up menu, when I press F8 or F9 it does not work and the system starts up normally. How do I make it so that F8 and F9 works? What do you think seems to be the problem? I've tried pressing the buttons once and also repeatedly and both instances the system starts normally. How do I make it so that I can get into safe mode by pressing F8 or F9 to boot device during start up without booting the hard drive?

Was the bios updated prior to this problem occuring?
Try clearing the cmos as follows.
With reference to Page 109 of your Maintenance & Service Guide remove the RTC battery. Hold down the power button for 30 seconds. Reinsert the RTC cell.
Can you access any menus at boot now?

Prevent F9 boot device options or boot from USB HP 250 G3

Is there anyway to prevent users from booting from USB on these laptops, either be locking down the boot menu or disabling the boot option for USB. These are laptops to be used in a college and we need them to only be bootable on the HDD. Many thanks, Simon

Ok,
by enabling the lagacy bios support all worked.
Thanks anyway.

For more detail on the exact code, search the Internet for "beep code" and the manufacturer of your BIOS - such as AMI or Award.
The caps lock blinking three times indicates it is related to the RAM.
You can try disconnecting everything including the battery and the AC charger, holding the power button for one minute, and then turning it on.
If that does not help, then you can try removing each RAM module and trying with them one at a time.
Page 60 of this guide details how to remove the RAM should you need it.

HP Probook 4540s Sudden Shutdown Without any Warning

I have a HP Probook 4540s laptop bought in November 2012. It has Core i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50 Ghz chip with 8 gb ram and 500 GB hard disk. Till 2014 it was all OK. But now it has started giving me problems like it shut downs when it is at low battery say just about to reach 10 %. No low battery message just complete shut down(bam, screen goes dark). Now I have done the following steps
1. Battery has been calibrated it did solve the problem but it again started to happen.
2. I got my laptop's fan replaced 28 days back on i guess Jan 5, 2015 and vents are clean
3. I use Hardware Monitor Software to monitor the temperature and the results are as follows :
>> During Normal Operations it remains between 50 to 55 C (is it Normal ?) What should be the ideal temperature ?
>> Hard Disk temp is 60 to 64 C.
4. I use battery saver mode and everything set to normal
5. Drivers and BIOS Updated
6. Used HP Support Assistant to check battery health it shows OK.
7. I have changed the values also like I set the critical level,low battery and reserve battery but i guess that also not working.
Now My Question is
1. Is it due to overheating ? During normal operations like when plugged in it doesn't shutdown. Works Perfectly.
2. Or the battery is giving me trouble and needs to be replaced. After 100% charge it gives me around say 1 hr 30 mins of use but when it is about to hit 11 or 10% the system shuts down.
Please provide me with a solution
P.S. I don't use my laptop for gaming

Probook 4540s Driver not found in HP website!!

Hi, I am using HP Probook 4540s laptop. I use both Windows 7 32 bit and 64 bit OS. I downloaded all the necessary drivers for my laptop couple of months ago from HP support website. Recently I accidently deleted some files from my hard drive including those drivers and after a new OS install, I needed them drivers again. So I went to the same site where I previously downloaded my drivers but strang, most of them are missing now. No drivers for Windows 7 pro 64 bit or 32 bit for audio, video or pretty much everything else. It seems HP support is having fun with us!! Here is the exact link where all drivers used to be:http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=5229456&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4059 Now there is nothing useful. Come on HP, I hope you had enough fun, now give me a link from where I can get recent drivers for HP Probook 4540s Windows 7 pro 32 and 64 bit. Thanks for wasting my time searching things that should be found easily.

HP is doing some server migration, so things may be a little wonky until they are done.

HP ProBook 4540s slow to boot up, all programs run slow, long delay, show non-responding messages

Hello,
I have a HP ProBook 4540s running windows 7 (desktop shows: Test Mode Windows 7 build 7601)
The HDD is a Toshiba mk5061gsyn 500gb
For the last month or so the computer has been running very slow. The computer has always booted/start windows a bit slowly. Now it takes about 3-5minutes to get to the welcome screen then it takes a couple of minutes to load windows. Soluto shows all the programs that are being loaded on startup. (I never messed with this). I've run several antivirus programs and the system is clean. Back in June I had the same problem but there was malware found, not this time.
I ran speccy and it shows "warning" under the S.M.A.R.T section. I used the HP system tools and ran the HDD test and no errors were found. When I tried using the HDD test from Toshiba and I couldn't run the scan test, it only showed the model name and serial #.
I'm not sure what to do next?
Thanks for your help in advance!

1. Please "Turn OFF" the Notebook

Laptop stopped booting due to EFI boot device problems [SOLVED]

Hi,
I'm writing this from my old laptop. My Lenovo U330 touch will not boot. When I turn it on it states that 'default boot device is missing or boot failed'. It used to go to gummiboot and there were Linux and Windows boot options.
I can boot from an Arch USB drive and chroot but when I try to reinstall gummiboot or grub I get errors:
#gummiboot --path=$esp install
#failed to check filesystem type of install: No such file or directory
# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=$esp --bootloader-id=grub --recheck --debug
#grub install error failed to get canonical path of `'
On this laptop there are various partitions for EFI and a small Windows 8 partition.
I guess there is some problem with the $esp
It should be /dev/sda2 and / is dev/sda6. All seem to be present and correct with fdisk -l, however, for some reason there is a boot flag on /
I've tried to sort it out for a few hours now. Please if anyone can help that would be amazing.

This is a pretty ridiculous suggestion. It may not be production ready and it may not be the best choice for the user, but it has nothing to do with the problem at hand.
@OP, are you literally typing:
gummiboot --path=$esp install
If so, $esp is a variable. So in your case you would need to set esp=/boot. But gummiboot's default --path for install is actually /boot. So you should only need to do:
gummiboot install

Error "Can't find boot device by boot options" when boot from ISO via AMT

Hello.
When I try to boot from ISO CD via AMT I got an error message:
"Can't find boot device by boot options"
Settings are similar to what I made in HP 8100, 8200 etc - SOL/IDER/KVM, network access enabled
Where could be a problem?
Prod. name: HP Compaq Elite 8300 Microtower PC
Prod. number: B0F41EA

Just wanted to follow up with this as I got a response from HP. It looks like it is at least the 2.9 BIOS version that has this issue. I know that at least the 2.51 BIOS version is unaffected.

I've tried to locate the archiso by creating a symlink to /dev/sd* but no effect. If someone can assist me finding a solution, I would be very appreciative.

Thank you for your input. I tried with an USB install, and renamed the USB drive to ARCH_201108 and it booted successfully. But I think this was kind of odd, since I can't remember stumbling upon errors like these when I've tried to install Arch before. Is this something recent?
