I have a Ubuntu 18.04.2 image on a USB Stick.

On my old PC (~8 years) I can boot Ubuntu from the stick.

On my new PC booting shows only a page full (~50) of the following errors:

PCIe Bus Error severity=Corrected type=Transaction Layer id=000b(Receiver ID) device [1022:14531] error status/mask=00002000/0000000 Adversory NonFatal

Then the system is frozen.

I also tried to boot Mint Linux 19.1 and Suse Leap 15 as live systems. Always the same result.

My PC: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700 - Motherboard: MSI B350 Gaming Pro Carbon - RAM: 2 x 16GB 2666-16 Vengeance LPX - Graphics: Gainward 8GB D5X GTX 1080 Phoenix - HDD: WD 3TB WD30EZRZ Blue 5400 SA3 - SSD: Samsung 512GB 860 PROBasic

Can anybody tell me what causes this problem and how it can be solved?

Thanks in advance

    The problem is your NVIDIA graphics card not supported by the default open-source driver. You nees to boot the installer with an additional boot parameter, nomodeset, install amd use it again until you also install NVIDIA drivers. –  Apr 22 '19 at 16:08

I merged two options (pcie_aspm=off and nomodeset) into this one answer that helped me resolve this issue:

To edit Grub2 during the boot process try the following: (from stackoverflow answer slightly changed)

  1. Immediately after the BIOS splash screen during boot, press and hold the SHIFT button. This will display you grub containing a list of kernels and recovery options

    enter image description here

  2. Press e to edit the first kernel displayed

    enter image description here

  3. Find the line ending with quiet splash. Add your boot option before these key words - i.e. so the line looks like [...]pcie_aspm=off nomodeset quiet splash

  4. Press CTRL + X to boot

Follow the steps in stackoverflow answer on how to fix the nomodeset boot option permanently so that you don't have to go through this manual procedure again.

To permanently set this setting, follow these steps: (from this link slightly changed)

Open the Grub configuration file in an editor after OS is booted, e. g. in vi:

sudo vi /etc/default/grub

Adjust the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT variable as follows, save the file and close the editor:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet pcie_aspm=off nomodeset"

After the configuration change, update the Grub Bootloader with the following command:

sudo update-grub

Finally, restart the OS.

Drawback of this settings is that you may lose Power Management capabilities. (ASPM - Active State Power Management)
