Using Snakeoil on a Minnowboard TurboT

[agent_kith]

Rufus is telling me that your image isn't EFI compatible. I can only burn in Bios mode. I think when we get to the point where Rufus thinks your image is EFI compatible, and let's me burn in EFI mode, it will work.

Out of curiosity. Can you run 'ls' in the above screen. What does it say?

The default Rufus creates the ISO as BIOS + UEFI CSM (or something like that). In the Snakeoil manual (using an older version of Rufus), it says 'Bios or UEFI'. You should always create the USB stick in this mode.

This mode simply means the stick will boot on any computer - i.e. if you have a computer that uses BIOS, this stick will work. If another computer is using EFI (unsecured), the same stick will also work.

Another ISO is provided via PM, this has the kernel that will hopefully work for your Minnow board.

Try and and see how it goes. Use both Rufus and Etecher (I tested Etecher and confirmed it doesn't create a FAT32 filesystem like Rufus can). Try and boot as a CD Image too if you can. Some UEFI BIOS allows you load an ISO like it's a CD Image. Or use a physical CD-R.

If this latest ISO still doesn't work. Then this is out of my hands for now. You can continue to experiment and re-author the contents to create a UEFI boot disk. I will re-look into this after the Raspberrry Pi port.
