I assembled my new Framework laptop 16 yesterday and tested it out with a live Linux Mint environment.
Today I tried to install Linux Mint to a storage expansion card. During the instillation, I had to create a secure boot password for the codecs. When partitioning, I made a 32GB Swap and had the rest of the storage as root. During the instillation, there was a fatal error. I tried unmounting the partitions on the card to create a new table to try again (using fdisk). This also gave an error, so I decided to reboot.
When rebooting, the error shown in the image was displayed and then the computer is powered off. Trying to turn it on without the live USB inserted goes to bios. I tried re imaging the USB, but the Framework still displays the same error. I tried disabling secure boot; same result. I tried factory resetting secure boot; same result. I tried booting without the expansion card; same result.

Failed to open \EFI\BOOT\mmx64.efi - Not Found
Failed to load image ###: Not Found
Failed to start MokManager: Not Found
Something has gone seriously wrong: Import_mok_state() failed: Not Found
The "#"s are completely solid (or possibly checked) characters.
I tried creating a debian USB, but using that gave the same error.
I'm unsure what I should do. Any help would be great. Thank you in advance!
Solution: Go into the BIOS with the USB inserted and locate the boot from file option, then navigate the usb to find the grub efi file and use it to boot.
I had pretty much the same problem on a ThinkPad T490 after a borked Mint install. It tells the EFI to boot into MOK Manager but doesn't provide it under the path (
mmx64.efi).I don't 100 % remember what I did to fix it but I think I booted into an EFI Shell and wiped boot entries off the NVRAM. Resetting the BIOS should do that, but this may vary by manufacturer.
