@marcan when I do the double press, I get “continue holding for startup options”, then “launching startup options” then a black screen. The computer seems to be on, I have to hold the power button to shut it down before I can start it up again. Could that be it?

@seb_degraff Wow, okay, that's a new one for System RecoveryOS!

What happens if you do a normal press and hold? And what OSes do you have installed, and what is your default boot OS?

@marcan only sonoma installed. Normal press and hold works, I see the startup options

@seb_degraff Huh, interesting. Would you mind if I debug a bit? At the very least it would be great if you can grab some system files, I can give you instructions of what to get (though it'll be a bit large, maybe 2GB with all the recoveryOS stuff).

This case is particularly interesting because either you have an older System RecoveryOS than your boot firmware (which would be a first), or both System and Paired RecoveryOS are Sonoma but somehow one works and the other one doesn't, which might help us pinpoint exactly what causes the screen snafu.

Happy to do this over a videocall or something like that if you prefer.
