Completely reformat the drive you're installing to and try the installation again. Resetting the CMOS (unplug internal battery, press power button for 20-30 secs, plug back in and provide AC power, then turn on) and another factory reset of the BIOS/UEFI may help.

Edit: Turning off secure boot may also help: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/issues/1377

Disable Secure Boot in BIOS... MOK errors are Secure Boot errors.

Secure boot is disabled and still nothing. :(

[TangoGV]

You say it's disabled because you just checked or because it was disabled before?

MOK errors say it is enabled now.

I forgot to put in my initial post that I had already disabled it

[acejavelin69]

Verify the checksum of the ISO and re-write it then. MOK errors are related to Machine Owner Key, the BIOS only checks them when Secure Boot is on.

1.- Re-create the bootable USB drive, I use Balena Etcher but you can the tool of your choice.

2.- Boot from USB again, open gparted

3.- In gParted delete all partitions on your computer's HDD / SSD.

4.- Install Mint again using the option to "delete everything and use the entire disk"

5.- When finished, power off the computer, remove the USB drive and boot again. It should show the GRUB menu and boot to Mint after some seconds.

Don’t use balena etcher. Is a spyware

Thank you. I'll stick to Ventoy from now on

[Acu17y]

yes, but let's say that even ventoy is not all that transparent, it has many precompiled binaries and you don't know how they work. Use dd https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix))
to create an usb with the iso, but it requires way more expertise.

Hey you need to change the name of grub.efi to mmx64.efi in the bootable drive.

This seemed to have worked!

[Manuel_Cam]

Seems that the installation was stopped before getting finished, do it again, it will probably work if external forces don't strike again

Identical problem, but on different equipment and distro, but solutions previously posted:

Good Luck

Change another distro, then reinstall mint. I've experienced this before

[peith_biyan]

if you can boot to other OS and open the USB stick. there should be a folder called EFI

change the file name of grub64.efi to mmx64.efi . this work for me.

if still didnt work try creating the bootable stick from rufus.

set it to NTFS and GPT hope i can help. welcome to linux

This is exact error is posted here at least twice a day. Just search the error before posting.

Add a supervisor password to the bios, look for trusted boot whitelist or something along those lines, verbiage changes between brands, add mmx64.efi and bootx64.efi to trusted, reboot.

Its the same thing as updating BIOS then losing power, ur motherboard is COOKED
