Disable AER, MSI, and MMCONF in Grub before booting on ASUS systems

Hi, I had an issue for years getting Ubuntu to run on my ASUS machine, I tried troubleshooting what could be causing the hang-ups, then I read about AER and the PCI-E errors spitting out on POST, so what I had to do was disable AER, MSI and MMCONF to stop the log files from becoming incredibly big. I modified grub bootloader as follows

quiet splash pci=noaer pci=nomsi pci=nommconf edd=off

that fixed the issues surrounding huge syslog and kern files

Welcome. Maybe add [Howto] or similar to the beginning of the subject line to make it obvious it's not a request for help.

It might help others a lot more if you specify which Asus model this applies to, and/or which CPU and GPU are involved. Try providing input/output from inxi -GSMay or inxi -GSMa enclosed here in code tags.
