I run Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE2, Debian 8.1). All updates are installed.About 50% of the time I boot my laptop, it crashes and forces an immediate reboot. The message I last got from the console before the reboot isWaiting for /dev to be fully populatedIs there a way to get more details on what could have cause the reboot? Or are there any known issues?If it helps, here's my laptop details:https://www.amazon.com/GL551-15-inch-Gaming-Laptiop-Model/dp/B00T7XRH2AWhat I know so far:Booting via recovery option significantly reduces but does not eliminate the possibility of the crash.I tried google around and couldn't find anything helpful. I looked at How to get more info about the boot message Waiting for /dev to be fully populatedand /var/log/boot doesn't exist.There's a few posts about hanging/timeouts, which is not exactly what I look for.I tried disable a few things in the BIOS (wake on lan, touchpad, USB compatibility mode, etc). Some posts mention nVidia optimus, but there's no option to disable it in the BIOS.
At boot time, Waiting for /dev to be fully populated forces a reboot
