My stupid Lenovo “Thinkpad” UEFI doesnt have a real F12 devices menu.
It just shows registered UEFI targets that can be booted.
This is pretty catastrophic, somehow I got Fedora and Windows installed, but thats it. If something breaks, I am in trouble. I cant do a memtest86 even though I think my RAM is faulty.
So in Linux, is there a way to add an UEFI entry to boot just any USB stick? Or to boot a specific one, like with Ventoy on it?
Thanks!
Weird, suddenly, after like 20 tries, I can boot any media? Wtf?
Yes I could select the boot order but only for the UEFI entries (Fedora, Linux firmware updater, Windows Boot manager)
Not for plugged in devices. I never saw the name of my NVME for example, now suddenly its there?
I hate this proprietary garbage Bios so much, I cant wait to get a Clevo NV41MZ and flash dasharo on that, then try Heads.
Did you enable CSM? By default you should never see a device to boot from and should only see valid UEFI targets.
Compatibility Support Module. It’ll allow you to boot non-UEFI things. I often disable that to enable secure boot.
Novacustom and 3mdeb do all the work. So if you want to support them, get a machine from them!
