some motherboards have issues. i just replaced a motherboard and had it boot with grub instead of refind. i expected refind. i reinstalled refind hoping that would take care of it, nope. i'm not about to remove grub as i'm not sure i want to mess things up that ways. i should update my netinst image and make sure it boots from the USB stick before i try anything like that. apparently Gigabyte has/had some strange ideas about UEFI. sadly i didn't know this and couldn't shop other than through the phone line talking to someone so i had to rely upon them selecting a motherboard for me. don't really want to sent it back either. now that i'm back on-line i see there is some words on the refind site about this type of problem, but i'm not confident enough with the suggestions to try them and i don't really have the time either so i may not get back to this until next winter. the previous board i had by Asrock didn't have any problems at all booting in either legacy or UEFI and didn't have troubles with USB devices either. i'm not so sure about this board. songbird
