The error messages displayed, ie.: > [ 0.000000] tsc: Fast TSC calibration failed > systemd-fsck[62]: system: clean, 23245/262144 files, 244244/1048575 blocks > [ 12.297269] piix4_smbus 0000:00:07.0: SMBus base address > uninitialized - upgrade BIOS or use force_addr=0xaddr don't appear to have any bearing on your issue [1][2].
