#1 Re: Installation » Daedalus: efi boot partition does not boot on an optiplex 3040. » 2024-08-25 23:24:28
After half a week of tearing my hair out, I came across an article by Rod Smith on using the fallback efi program used to mimic the boot manager for Windows in the fallback boot path:
(https://rodsbooks.com/efi-bootloaders/fallback.html) --or efi/boot/bootx64.efi, renaming fbx64.efi to bootx64.efi
The problem is I don't know where the fallback boot path is in both ESPs. I had already created one of these partitions when I installed Devuan.

In any case, have you started the installation in efi mode?
I flashed devuan along with formatting the partitition scheme as MBR. On the boot menu, "UEFI" appears alongside the usb and when I boot it with MBR the installation runs as if it were in efi mode. I'm not sure if that counts since I could have done that with GPT.

I was flashing Devuan daedalus with Rufus on a Sandisk cruzer. I created the necessary partitions and followed the instructions. When I came to the boot menu, there wasn't a new boot entry, but from what I understood devuan should have created a boot entry on the EFI menu.
I went to the BIOS setup and added a new boot entry manually. I selected hd(1,5) and I set the file location to:
/efi/devuan/bootx64
I noticed that when I booted in the supposed partition, I was booted in the USB stick instead.
I'm currently typing this in Windows. Any help would be appreciated!
