Just to re-inforce Bart's point. You need to get the BIOS settings right and it is often quite difficult.
Often you will see two bootable images in the BIOS, one UEFI and one not. Annoyingly I find it is usually the second option that works. The BIOS will also often have compatibility boot settings which support non-UEFI booting which you might need to bring into play. One gotcha that I have seen is at least one motherboard that would boot off a USB2 port but not a USB3 port. I usually switch off secure boot but that is not always an option in which case I believe only some distributions will work at all. Virtually all BIOS's are different in some way and they are usually not designed to support Linux. Sometimes you need to set the primary boot disk in the BIOS and other times, if that does not work, you need to force the BIOS to boot from a particular source and if there are 2 listed you need to try them both. SO don't give up, sometimes you really have to try all the various BIOS settings, particularly the boot settings, to get a combination that works. It is also always worth checking out the other BIOS settings too just to make sure your machine behaves as you want it too. However settings for timing and voltage I set to auto. I leave those changes to the gamers/overclockers. I hope this helps. Clive -- Peterboro mailing list Peterboro@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro
