Danielx64 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Just now, Unobscured Vision said: Thank you kindly. Pretty sure once I bear in mind that I need to use the UEFI images and/or UEFI-mode when installing DIstros things should be fine. There's some kind of compatibility setting that I need to enable in the UEFI Setup to allow things to work, iirc, along with disabling 'Secure Boot" as well. I think? Yes there is "Secure Boot" to deal with, and there also something to do with CSM (Compatibility support module) that you may need to deal with. I haven't ran Linux on this board so I don't know if there anything else that you may need to take care of. This is the mamual for my board: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1150/Z97-C/E9748_Z97-C_v2_manual_web.pdf?_ga=1.240357891.1895824227.1474937810 so you can get an idea on what the UEFI/BIOS is like.

Mindovermaster Moderator Posted September 27, 2016 Author Moderator Share Posted September 27, 2016 I can't find anything on my board with UEFI/SecureBoot/CSM.... While it has a UEFI BIOS, it has no UEFI options... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also run this command via Admin Powershell Confirm-SecureBootUEFI It will return true, false, or "Cmdlet not supported on this platform".

It was set to disabled. I switch it to enabled, and tried my OpenSuSe USB, and it wouldn't work. I get a blank screen. And the stick is chirping away, but looks like it isn't doing anything...

Circaflex Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Recreate the USB, is it formatted fat32 or ntfs? UEFI usb needs to be fat32, use rufus to create it. Last time I had that issue, my iso was bad and redownloading and checking the hash worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll reformat and give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted September 28, 2016 Author Moderator Share Posted September 28, 2016 Wow, that actually... Works.... I got to OpenSuSe, ask me if I wanted to use their UEFI, then went into the install menu... Just backed out of there, as I didn't want to install it just yet But just the fact in, umm, it worked? Why don't they say that, umm, anywhere? I looked high and low about this... Circaflex 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad this was resolved without buying a new system. I guess I know some things, well sometimes Mindovermaster 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
