[ 999.901709] e1000e: EEE TX LPI TIMER: 00000011
[ 1001.863914] e1000e 0000:00:19.0 enp0s25: NIC Link is Down
5.This shows the e1000e driver loaded, but the "EEE TX LPI TIMER" message is a known indicator of the 90-second hang on this chip.*
6. Troubleshooting Attempted:
Added e1000e.disable_msi=1 and e1000e.EEE=0 to Parrot OS's GRUB config.
Created a systemd service in Zorin to run ethtool -K enp0s25 tso off gso off gro off at boot.
None of these attempts resolved the 90-second splash screen hang.
Thank you for coaching me through this.
I performed the edit, updated, then rebooted to a boot error screen that told me to type "journalctl -bx" in the terminal. (10000+ lines to read )
But I digress;
Once I did get back in, the boot was pretty much the same.
I'm stumped.
Back in. At last.
This happened:
"Emergency mode. After logging in, type "journal -xb" to view......"
Every 2nd boot is a fail. My Zorin boot situation has been jacked since jump.
I was forced to use grub2win for a bit. Until I learned my (painful lesson).
ParrotOS allows grub to connect, at least. (Chainloaded. bypassing Zorin's grub).
But I am not knowledgeable enough to see what is right in front of me.
You know?

Legend: LOAD → Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE → The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB → The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.

Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
