January 1, 20233 yr I have an MSI B450 Tomahawk Max with a Ryzen 2600 running 6.11.5. It has ALL by files on it so I need to get it to boot. What I did. I had a single HD5450 graphics card and a 2 port SATA card with 2 cache SSDs attached. It is supposed to support 2 graphics cards so I tried plugging in a Radeon RX-560 as a second card. In doing this, I had to move the SATA card to a different slot to make room for the new graphics card. Now it won't boot. I see the SATA controller finds the two cache drives and then it says "Press any key to exit". That's it - it just hangs and if I press the power button it immediately turns off. I can't seem to get into the bios. Last thing I did before I rebooted was assign the HD5450 to a Win11 VM to check passthrough and it worked. That's when I rebooted with the second video card. I tried pulling the new Radeon card and moving the SATA card back to its original location. It still won't boot. I tried deleting /boot/config/vfio-pci.cfg because I had my HD5450 and all the other options in System Devices checked before I rebooted. It still doesn't boot. I pulled the SATA card out completely doesn't boot either. Please help!!! I am stuck. Steve

It still doesn't boot. That won't help if you can't get in the board BIOS, do a CMOS reset and/or remove all add-on cards.
January 1, 20233 yr Author Solution Thanks. I was able to get into the BIOS and change the boot order.
