yes i did do everything mentioned
If I understand you correctly, the black screen happens when mode switching, e.g. different resolution?
Try using an external monitor to make sure that it the delay is not related to a slow monitor not switching quickly to another resolution.

No?
the black screen shows at boot up after the bios screen it got worse after moving from 24.04/10 to 25.04.
With quiet splash removed, I only get a slight black screen before the boot process scrolls by (same as in log file). And then sign on menu which boots almost immediately.
Maybe I have overlooked it but did you check boot order in bios? Setting your ssd as first boot device and/or disabling other devices (network boot, boot from usb device, ā¦) may have an impact on start up time.

Just replied in another thread but maybe this is of help here, too. If EFI is used perhaps efibootmgr (see manpage) can help getting some insights in boot process. I didnāt use it myself yet. Be careful!
@g-scheck
It is an old core2 duo or BIOS only system. So no efibootmgr.

Do not understand why you would reinstall fwupdate. HP only has a few new systems in the UEFI update database & no BIOS based systems.
Devices using LVFS for firmware updates, if your system not in database fwupdate not needed.
https://fwupd.org/lvfs/devicelist
You still show quiet splash in grub. Change to noplymouth and update grub.
Back with my old 2006 desktop core2 duo system, XP booted in 5 minutes. I really liked Ubuntu as it only took 40 sec. Turned out XP needed some tuning and got it all the way down to 3 minutes to boot. And back then Windows needed multiple reboots to fully update.

I think itās been said a few times now 
I donāt think the OP knows how to check if the Lappy is supported or notā¦Iām pretty certain it is not!
Not sure about that. Itās not explicitly mentioned in the thread. And the info from hp says it may have UEFI.

I stand corrected, that old system does seem to have a very early UEFI. But HP does not recommended using it or stay with BIOS boot. Not sure if they updated UEFI/BIOS to make it better or not. I also thought the Windows 7 servce pack was the first to have UEFI, although the standard Windows 7 had UEFI files that had to be moved to /EFI/Boot to work which could not be done with a CD or DVD.
Are you running SSSD?
Are you running sssd for network authentication?
Seems a bit advanced for an old laptop.

Well, here you go, as mentioned a few times above, this is an error with your UEFI/BIOS, it provides wrong data to the kernel ā¦
while you could put something like acpi=off or noacpi to your kernel commandline in /etc/default/grub to get rid of that message, that would turn off all acpi features of the system (power management, battery info etc)ā¦
To actually fix it you would need HP to release a fixed BIOS update ā¦
