New Puppy 7.5 in UEFI Liva XE pc
Posted: Tue 13 Feb 2018, 10:15
Thank you all who made the Puppy 7.5 . Just succeeded booting it in a ECS Liva XE (Intel 3060 , 2G/64G emmc , UEFI , no installed OS) . How :
a) Downloaded XenialPup64 7.5 iso file ,
b) With Ubuntu 15.4 , dd the iso into a 8G usb flash (SanDisk) , but it didn't boot ;
c) With Windws XP , downloaded Unetbootin and made a bootable usb flash (the same 8G) , it didn't boot either ,
d) Downloaded Rufus 2.18 and made a bootable Puppy in iso mode , using the same usb flash above , it started booting but stoped asking for a partition path ,
e) With Ubuntu , opened the iso file and the usb flash bootable file , to compare ,
f) Added to the bootable usb flash file : Isolinux.bin , Islinux.cfg , Initrd.gz and Boot catalog , it finally booted well .
I am browsing using a usb modem 3g , but wifi may need additional driver which ECS does provide in its website (for Ubuntu 14.04 , don't know if works for this Puppy) .
In Liva's UEFI : disabled "Fast Boot" and "Secure Boot" , changed boot order to boot from usb flash first .
