Computer doesn't boot using Haiku Anyboot USB stick - UEFI bios

Help
1

Hey there!

I have an Asus M11BB series desktop. I just got it not long ago. It’s from 2014 I believe. Anyway, I’m running Linux Mint on it and I wanted to try out Haiku again. I created a USB stick and even though I can select in the Bios the USB stick itself (32 GB), it will not boot off of it. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks everyone!

Does it boot on a different computer?

What happens during boot?

It doesn’t recognize it at all, even when I go into the bios and select it. It’s ignored entirely.

It sounds like the image was not properly made perhaps so that it just does not boot. Did you try it on a different computer ?

Don’t have a different computer to try it on. I tried it with belenaEtcher and with Linux Mint’s USB Image Writer. Either way, it’s not working.

So you choose to boot from the USB stick during bootup using F9/F10 depending on your system, and nothing happens?

Right. Nothing happens. Just goes to Linux Mint.

Some BIOS menus are not consistent and are allowing you to select a device that the BIOS itself is forbidding to boot. Check BIOS to see if it is allowed to boot from USB. Sometimes even the USB port is important and it will only allow to boot from one and not from others.

Hi thetommyboy2k,

I don’t know if this is relevant but if you are using the 32bit image I had a similar issue. Burning the image using dd worked however. It created the required FAT32 partition which the other methods failed to do. Instructions at the bottom of here:
