After installing the AL_202011 iso using dd the bios(uefi mode and legacy) wont recognize the usb, it is not shown in the boot menu.
I also tried booting into AL using grub from the command line:
linux (hd0,gpt1)/arch/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz-linux
initrd (hd0,gpt1)/arch/boot/amd-ucode.img
initrd (hd0,gpt1)/arch/boot/intel-ucode.img
initrd (hd0,gpt1)/arch/boot/x86_64/initramfs-linux.img
boot
which resulted messagin:
:: Mounting '/dev/disk/by-label/' to /run/archiso/bootmnt'
Waiting 30 second for device /dev/disk/by-label/ ...
I think my bios is corrupt. It doesn’t detect USB flash media, and it cannot boot into windows which is installed by default. I can only boot into grub and then, from there, into current arch/windows.
Does someone know something about this?
Sounds like a bios issue now. What’s your machine? If it’s a pretty new one, make sure secure boot is disabled. If it’s a mac, use “option + c” to boot from a USB device.
The third time. I have dual booted windows with two more linuxes(one of them which I can’t boot into). I current installation is located in a new sata connected ssd.
I must have fucked up the installation with the last one somehow.
The usb flash device is not shown in the boot priority order, but is detected by in the storage bios’s info section.
I don’t have the Lenovo device here, so I can not check exactly in the bios setting. I remember I went to Windows and then bios from the shutdown option. In the bios, there’s a setting which says something like “use USB device”. From there, you can boot directly from your USB. I will check the settings on my device when I have access to it.
On my Legion, from Windows login window, hold “shift” key and click “Restart” option. The device then goes into a window. The 2nd option, "Use a device (USB, …) will allow the device to boot directly from USB devices.
