I have a new Mainboard, CPU, Ram for his PC - a Asus Z97-K
other components like PSU, SSD, HDD are taken from the old Bios based Core2Duo PC
The OS is Linux Mint 16 and the LiveCD also - there is no Windows OS
My Problem now is that I can't boot from die HDD directly only via a Linux LiveCD. There I only have to press "boot from local drive" an then I get to the Bootloader where I can boot like with a normal PC. Otherwise without the CD it skips directly into UEFI
The OS was preinstalled from the old PC, I thought UEFI Bootloader etc made these problems so I installed Linux Mint 16 on a free Partition again but nothing changed really changed - before the CD trick doesn't worked but this might be cause I don't tried it with every UEFI configuration. SSD is GPT formatted.
The trick with the CD only work on some UEFI settings. With some settings the Bootloader of the LiveCD has no Background (only Black no Mint Logo) and no option to boot from drive
Now the working settings are:
- Fast Boot: disabled
- Secure Boot->OS Type: Windows UEFI mode (other possible option is "Other OS" which doesn’t work)
CSM Settings are:
- Launch CSM: Enabled
- Boot Device Control: UEFI and Legacy OPROM
- Boot from Network Devices: UEFI driver first
- Boot from Storage Devices: Both, UEFI frist
- BOOT from PCI-E/PCI Expansion Devices: UEFI frist
Boot Order is:
- P1: Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250G
- P5: LITE-ON COMBO SHC-48S7K
- disabled
- disabled
in EzMode there is also a UEFI start entry which a made from Linux in the List, sometimes this entry is doubled an kills the UEFI if I move it
