How do I "edit grub to add iomem=relaxed"?

Solution 1:

You can use nano but personally I do everything with gedit both in my regular user account and with sudo. In this case sudo is needed so it would be:

sudo -H gedit /etc/default/grub

Then change:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

to:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="iomem=relaxed quiet splash"
  • Save the file
  • Exit gedit
  • Run sudo update-grub
  • Type reboot

After rebooting type:

cat /proc/cmdline

You will see your changes in effect. Whether everything works or not is a different story :)
