Re: Crash upon suspend. Message: Boot Script Table modified. Postby syeager ยป Mon Jun 13, 2016 2:27 am "I have been installing different linux distros on my HP Envy and all have the same problem: sleep once, fine; sleep again, and it will not recover with a black screen, where upon on reboot (the only option with a hardware reboot) i get the error message 'boot script table modified'. Not only does this happen to linux distros, i have had it happen to windows 10 clean install. I just installed windows 10 to an ssd and added bodhi linux as a uefi boot. Just put windows to sleep (for the first time after rebooting) after playing an old XP game (Neverwinter Nights) and it gave the same problem. Does that help you analyze it? I can test theories, if anyone has one. OK, i tried ubuntu, thinking that i heard they paid microsoft for uefi, so maybe it would handle awaking from sleep better. No it doesn't. Then i tried robolinux, which is a debian release but also booted up with the cd with a legacy boot instead of uefi booting from the cd, and it can sleep just fine. i am assuming it is the legacy boot.

Install detected UEFI, and installed in UEFI mode. (I have attempted to change to legacy boot, and got it to a state where it was booting without /sys/firmware/efi/ being present, but behaviour persisted.) Suspending the laptop, whether by closing the lid, choosing the suspend option from the menu, or directly typing "sudo pm-suspend" works perfectly well... once. The second attempt to suspend, whether immediately or hours later, suspends the laptop (I can see the screen turn off, and hear the disk and fans stop, but a moment later the screen shows bright yellow console text declaring "Warning!!! Boot script table modified!!! Please contact your vendor.", and then it hard reboots. This appears to be a weird interaction between suspend and UEFI protection, but others have reported that they have had working suspend when installed alone (and presumably in legacy from the start), but this behaviour appeared when reinstalled as dual-boot (when presumably UEFI would have had to be on). (http://askubuntu.com/questions/675683/suspend-does-not-work-more- than-once-after-reboot-ubuntu-15-04-dual-boot/712232 and earlier http://askubuntu.com/questions/651481/boot-script-table-modified- please-contact-vendor, from different people.) Beyond the investigations I have done, I know next to nothing about UEFI, or how Suspend might be interacting with it. Much less why it appears to work perfectly exactly once.
