TinyCorePure64 and UEFI boot

(1/6) > >>

Hello there
I am very very new to linux and Tiny Core

I am trying to make TinyCorePure64 v9.0 boot with UEFI and I have followed this tutorial on partition the USB Drive: http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,20939.msg130829.html#msg130829

I get the usb boot menu up as USB HDD: AI  MASS STORAGE
I have disabled secure boot but I cannot disable UEFI or change it

I am trying to be able to boot with both legacy MBR BIOS and UEFI so I can use tinycore on allmost all computers

My laptop is Acer Aspire ES 11, ES1-132-C3TU with eMMC 32GB Drive

I have added images of folders and files on usb drive and settings from BIOS on laptop

Hope there is a way to get this to work  :)

Hi, I can see you have your F12 Boot Menu Enabled.
You should try pressing F12 right after you power up your laptop.
The USB should appear on the pop up list.
I suggest trying this method before hacking your motherboard setting.

To hack your motherboard, please refer to this How to Boot from USB vedio.
Although it's a tutorial on installing M$, it tells you how to disable UEFI.
It uses another similar laptop model "ACER ASPIRE ES 15".
You could give it a shot and see if the it works on your PC.

Thank you for quick reply
 I already use f12 to get the boot menu but when I try to boot from usb it only starts windows.
 I think it is not finding tiny core.
Do I need to install tinycore after everything in the tutorial is done or is corepure64.gz the tinycore os?

Thank you

It's good to hear that your laptop recognizes an USB bootable media
I've seen tablet PCs that just won't boot from an USB drive

Are you booting in legacy mode or UEFI mode ?
If you are running in legacy mode, please check if the partition is marked active
It's an essential step for your PC to find the system files

corepure64.gz is 64bit for TC
The minimum requirements are 2 files
vmlinuz64 is the kernel
corepure64.gz is the initial ram disk
If you set up your bootloader properly, you should be able to boot

hamak:
I only have UEFI on this laptop and I cannot change it to legacy but I have disabled secure boot

I think the problem is the bootloader and I have followed the tutorial on this page:
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,20939.msg130829.html#msg130829

Maybe I cannot use syslinux? I know there is mentioned extlinux but here is my syslinux.cfg config:


--- Code: ---UI vesamenu.c32
DEFAULT tc

LABEL tc
MENU LABEL Tiny Core
KERNEL /vmlinuz64
INITRD /corepure64.gz
APPEND root=UUID="1B5B-059C" rw

--- End code ---
