Larkbox X N100 boot loop Linux

Laptops LarkBook X

After removing the NVMe drive it came with, in case I want to run Windows in the future, I installed a new m.2 512G NVMe drive. I booted Ubuntu 22.04 on a thumb drive, and installed Ubuntu onto the NVMe.

Problem: the Larkbox keeps booting in a loop. I see “CHUWI.com” on the screen for a fraction of a second, then see “Reset System” in the upper left corner, then it repeats.

BIOS is set to Legacy. I’ve tried it with “Quick Boot” enabled and disabled, same thing.

Has anyone here gotten Ubuntu to work? Any suggestions welcomed.

Saw some other forum posts, and read that the Larkbox X does not support NVMe drives?

I didn’t see anything on the m.2 drive, so I went into the BIOS and NVMe is specifically listed as a boot option.

Am I hosed?
