Hello All,
I recently posted about my troubles booting from a DVD.
It turns out that my MB bios will only detect UEFI boot structures and any
devices (USB, DVD) with pre UEFI (legacy) boot structure is not
detected...ie. never show up in the boot menu.
I have been trying to get a resolution to this from the MB manufacturer.
To make a long story short, they claim that the MB will boot legacy boot
structures with particular bios settings, which I am using. They also
assert that they do not support linux and the linux driver is the issue,
and that I should install Windows and test if I still have the problem.
It has been my understanding that any OS driver will only come into play
after the bios has detected the boot device and commenced the boot process
by loading the OS/driver/whatnot from the bootable device.
Is the MB manufacturer correct to say that the linux driver is the cause
of the problem?
Cheers,

Terry Duell
