Hi,
New machine (Lenovo L14 Gen3). Full disk encryption using discrete partitions with the same password ("/", "/home", swap).
On boot, the Lenovo logo flashes instantly and the prompt for the disk encryption key pops fast. At this point, ctr-alt-del is ignored. There is no time nor message to press F1 for bios config or F12 for boot menu.
I have to press and hold the power button for 4 seconds to power off, then power up again, and start pressing F1 or F12 fast, so that it is read. Slow pressing doesn't work. Press F1 and hold doesn't work.
Question: Is it possible to insert a delay? Once upon a time there was "boot delay" but it was removed when people complained about slow startup. At least on my latest Lenovo X1.
The following is pure guesswork and not something I've tried: It may be possible to delay the startup by telling setup->startup to change from quick to diagnostic. You can also try to change the starting order so that you have something before your normal starting order. Maybe something jurassic like a CD? -- /bengan
