Error parsing PCC subspaces from PCCT: ACPI PCC probe failed
Solution 1:
I had the same problem after installing Ubuntu 16.04 on the Lenovo w540 with preinstalled Win 8.1. It appeared that I didn't install Ubuntu with correct bootloader. The Windows was booting in UEFI mode while the Ubuntu in BIOS mode.So I've reinstalled Ubuntu, but this time I read:
- official Ubuntu installation guide
- http://www.rodsbooks.com/linux-uefi/ (got most from it)
- and the thread 'UEFI Installing - Tips' on ubuntuforums
.
- When I created a bootable USB key from the ISO image I made sure it will boot in UEFI mode = I used Rufus and chose 'GPR partition for UEFI' as a partition type for the bootable USB key (they say that there is a version of YUMI that support UEFI as well - didn't try it though )
- In my BIOS settings I've disallowed booting other than UEFI to make sure my USB key will boot with UEFI (I did the opposite of https://neosmart.net/wiki/enable-legacy-boot-mode/).
- The Ubuntu knew that it was booted from UEFI bootloader and it installed with UEFI bootloader as well.
The problem with the PCC parsing... didn't appear since then.
I don't know if it's relevant but I've installed Ubuntu on a separate drive with separate efi partition.In my BIOS settings I have now another entry on the boot order list: 'ubuntu'. It was placed by the Ubuntu installer on the first place so I moved it below the USB stuff but above the Windows Boot Manager so I can boot from USB key or choose from the GRUB2 boot menu which system to boot on each restart.
Solution 2:
Due to the response on the comment, and that it apparently works...
Answer: Usually happens on Linux-Windows dual boot. Disable hiberboot (fast startup) in Windows. If it comes back after some upgrade, just boot to Windows and restart, worked on my friend's PC.
Windows > Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Power Options > System Settings > Change settings that are currently unavailable (UAC) > Turn on fast startup (recommended) — unchecked this.
Note: Well, it really isn't recommended to dual boot Windows with Linux.
