Got Mint running on my good PC! The weird thing is it demanded a file named mmx64.EFI and the bootable disc creator in Mint 20 didn't generate one, but I followed instructions and renamed grubx64.EFI to mmx64.EFI and it worked.

Some of the apps I use (Vivaldi) were hidden behind an, "unverified" filter that Mint put in for 22 and I had to turn that off.

Remaining issues I can think of atm:
• I might have to deal with setting up a MOC for Secure Boot
• My data drive (nee D:) is read only.
• I can't get Mint's Firefox to make PWAs.
• Steam is demanding a 32bit driver for my GPU even though it's 64 bit.
• I still need to log into like, 8000 more things.

I found the bug description:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218826

It seems as if this #Kernel driver bug is solved with kernel 6.8.10. My #linux_mint_22 is on 6.8.0. So I have to wait for an update and stick with the (annoying) workaround of the BIOS option to deactivate WIFI when plugging in LAN.

218826 – Regression of e1000e (I219-LM) from 6.1.90 to 6.6.30

Temporary solution is to set BIOS to disable wifi when connecting LAN. Or to Boot with LAN already connected.

I even swapped in a new harddisk and tried with a new installation of #linux_mint_22 (same problem) and #LinuxMint21 (no problem).

I suspect it is the newer kernel (afaik 6.8 vs. 5.15). Somebody having a similar problem of even a solution?

Would be nice to usw wifi and LAN simultanously e. g. for router configs and updates.
