Have you done this in the UEFI bios setup?

Disable Secure Boot and/or enable Legacy Boot

the note book has an eMMC drive which I think is why it won't it wont install.
I tried https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2351579 but still no luck.
maybe I was too quick in formatting the drive.
Is it possible to install puppy on this type of drive?

Sorry big pup never say your reply yes tried UEFI and lecacy. It boots fine of external usb but can't install to internal drive. Also it wont boot from the sd card in the slot and there isn't a setting in the bios to make it boot from the sd card.
I think it must just work on windows :( :(

Well, you may just have to be happy with Xenialpup booting from a USB flash drive.
Could probably still use the internal drive for storage.

That Ubuntu topic talks about having to do this:
n order for the system to recognized the installed OS, you must ensure the system is using UEFI boot mode as well as enabling Firmware TPM BEFORE installation. Secure boot MUST be off for installation and after installation. Legacy Option ROM should be disabled. After install, the system will recognize the OS and boot properly after the TPM check which will only occur at the very first bootup and never occur again.
Note this statement:
Secure boot MUST be off for installation and after installation.
Legacy Option ROM should be disabled

Unfortunately Yapi sees the partion but fails when trying to install grub.
Specific details?
You do what?
You see what?


Some computers want to see the boot loader stuff on a fat32 formatted partition.

I wonder if redoing the partitioning would help.
Make two partitions.
The first partition, a small (maybe 100MB) partition formatted fat 32.
Use this as the partition to install the boot loader on.
2nd partition the rest of the drive space. Format ext 3.
Install Xenialpup on it.

I can't get Bionicpup64 to work on my system because the wifi card won't work. It works with the b43 pci module on 32b.
Via PM Ali went with my hunch that BP64 wants the Broadcom wl driver.
03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01)
In the process the ssb, bcma, b43, b44 & brcmsmac modules were blacklisted:
the "wl_apsta.o" firmware from this pkg extracted to /lib/firmware.

After a quick reboot -- "Houston, we have an interface!"
