Bios is gone :\

I was trying to figure out the way to make "as a start point" (just to be efi recognized partition) my Nvme disk in the bios of the motherboard MSI PRO z790-s  ... I read more the one time that the bios update is considered one of the most problem about ...
I decided to do so ... and everything was easy and without any doubt I finally decide to run M-Flash from bios ... the bios update started fine .. but at certan point (almost the end) my pc went down and crashed ...

Now If I m trying to enter on bios I can only see a white screen ... but taping here and there I reach to arrive since grub and run my linux ... question is ... and now ?? how can I recover bios

Re: Bios is gone :\

There is a jumper on your motherboard that can be used to reset the firmware to default settings.
Look at page 46 for "Resetting Bios" of the manual for your motherboard.

While this is not arch-specific , it's also not gnu/linux specfic.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: Bios is gone :\

after a bit of research it appears that you are most likely using an older graphics card which is causing the white screen in bios, aparrently disabling VT-D in the bios will fix this, obviously you will need to remove the card and reset the bios first to be able to make the change then re-install the card.
if you rely on VT-D functionality then this obviously causes an issue there
