No, not at all. Unfortunately, the Macchiatobin still ships with U-Boot installed as the default firmware and it's not all that useful for installation.
am I right that this U-Boot stumbles over partition id 0xef of the second partition of the installer iso?
The EDK2 image I've used is one built by my friend Leif (unixsmurf on IRC) [4], and it works reasonably well. Using that, the system should happily boot Debian from a USB stick and it should let you install and run.
Great, thanks a lot! The installer does start now. Unfortunately I get: [2018-01-12 19:12:51 Press ESCAPE for boot options ...[Bds]Booting UEFI BUFFALO USB Flash Disk A300000000633130 [2018-01-12 19:18:01 XhcBulkTransfer: error - Time out, transfer - 40 [2018-01-12 19:23:07 XhcBulkTransfer: error - Time out, transfer - 40 [2018-01-12 19:28:13 XhcBulkTransfer: error - Time out, transfer - 40 UsbBotExecCommand: UsbBotGetStatus (Time out) UsbBootExecCmd: Timeout to Exec 0x0 Cmd but after that 16 minute timeout period it goes: Loading driver at 0x000B668E000 EntryPoint=0x000B668E400 [2018-01-12 19:28:14 Loading driver at 0x000B668E000 EntryPoint=0x000B668E400 GNU GRUB version 2.02~beta3-5 (...) and the installer is available. Do you have any idea why it needs to wait? Thorsten
