While it's entirely possible that some motherboards can't boot from some USB connectors at all, and some could be user-configured that way, it should be possible to create your install on USB stick plugged into any of the ports. It's also possible that some USB sticks, themselves, aren't bootable. Or that one particular creation techique won't work for them. I've had sticks where I simply used dd to copy to the ISO to them, and that worked fine. Others I had to use a tool like mediawriter. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1062.12.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Feb 4 23:02:59 UTC 2020 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
