ASUS B85M-E; how to setup that borad for launching a linux distro?
Hello there,
a friend of mine has a PC with an ASUS board and asked me to make it working (Win on it; we must overwrite it with a linux distro).
I disabled the quick boot, disabled the Secure Boot "OS Type" = "Other OS") and tried to start VENTOY for testing 1-2 distro. See the screen pictures in the attachment.
The USB is recognized but it dont boot.
Anybody having successfully using that board with linux is welcome: I need few hints how to make it working.
Probably few things going wrong here with UEFI.
Regards.
Update: activating secure boot made it. VENTOY was recognized.

I have that board running openSUSE, Debian, Mint, Mageia, Kubuntu, Fedora, and no Windows. I have secure boot disabled, and no familiarity with what Ventoy is.

Ventoy is this: https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html
You can put several distro on an USB for a quick interactive testing on a PC (good stuff).
I would have tried it in a next step to create a full flavor debian live on an usb; then according your information it would have probably worked. |
