Issues while booting Ubuntu 20.04 LTS after installation on Asus Tuf A15 (FA506IH) "PPM init fail"

Question

This is the error I get when I boot from the installation media:

0365066 ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Could not resolve symbol (_ 88.PCI.GPP4.
LANI, AE_NOT_FOUND

The error I get on booting after installation is complete:

usci_acpi USBC000:00: PPM init failed (-110)

I'm having these issues on the laptop I've recently bought:

Asus Tuf A15 (FA506IH)

Please help me with this.

Some ACPI errors seem to be normal and do not stop booting. Have you updated UEFI from Asus for your system? And if SSD updated SSD firmware? If you have nVidia you also need nomodeset on the linux line in grub menu. See grub menu options (not BIOS options). https://askubuntu.com/questions/162075/my-computer-boots-to-a-black-screen-what-options-do-i-have-to-fix-it & https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI & https://askubuntu.com/questions/221835/installing-ubuntu-on-a-pre-installed-windows-10-with-uefi — oldfred, Jun 27 '20 at 18:35
Hi Parsa, nomodeset thing worked for me, now I'm able to boot into linux. Thanks! — abafoon, Jun 28 '20 at 14:03
Does this answer your question? Live USB for installation does not boot, black error screen followed by visual artifacts on a purple screen — karel, Jan 15 '21 at 06:04

I have an Asus tuf a15 (ryzen 9 4900h + nvidia rtx 2060) I installed Linux Mint 20.04

When you see the GRUB menu, press e to edit boot options, append modeset=0 after splash and then press F10 to boot. For me the trackpad was not working thus used wireless mouse for installation, but after installation the trackpad started working

I installed the latest kernel (5.7.15) and installed nvidia-driver-450 for nvidia graphics.

Now my system is working well with both gpu (amd remior +m nvidia rtx 2060)
