I had the pleasure with this laptop in distant past. I hope that I remember things correctly.
1. The boot menu is accessible through a key not advertised on the screen at boot time. Not sure how I found it, probably tried Fx, Del, Enter, Esc key. 2. It wouldn't boot from media not signed by MS. At the time, eons ago, openSuSE was correctly signed and booted. I had less luck with other distros back then. 3. Booting from external USB DVD drive worked too. I seems to think that it was easier as it would boot just by having it connected with suitable, signed DVD inserted. I sincerely hope that I am not making this up, after 4-ish years. Tomas On Mon, Dec 2, 2019, 14:11 Russell Senior <[email protected]> wrote: > What is the failing behavior?
