Fedora Silverblue, I downloaded the latest image from their website. I also tried AntiX and Zorin. I just tried using Rufus to burn a FreeDOS USB stick and no luck there either. My old Windows SSD was booting, but now when I just tried again I’m getting BSOD. I think the computer is borked after sitting for too long, so time to build a new one. with blackjack and hookers.

It’s a USB 2 drive and USB 2 ports. I have some USB 3 ports on a PCIe expansion card but they’re not recognized during boot. I tried the other USB 2 port and it was the same result. I’m thinking the MoBo might be borked after sitting for too many years.

Thank you, I appreciate the help.

My BIOS is old enough that it is legacy :-) It can see the USB device, but for some reason when I try to boot from it the system just hangs with no video output. It sees it as a hard drive, so I have to make it the 1st drive and then I can set the boot priority.

Thank you, I appreciate the help.

I disabled quick boot. My BIOS is old enough that it doesn’t have secure boot.

I can’t even get to the GRUB stage. I try to boot from the USB or the DVD and it just hangs with no video output.

Thank you, I appreciate the help.

I am using Rufus with MBR and “BIOS or UEFI”, I don’t see a BIOS-only mode.

When I burn the USB stick, I get a popup about a hybrid ISO. I’ve tried both ISO mode and dd mode, neither option lets me boot.

Still good advice

It’s not difficult to file your taxes on paper.

Also, the courts have no enforcement arm. They can issue injunctions all they want. It’s up to the executive branch to enforce the rulings. If the executive branch just says “nah” there’s not much the courts can do except issue another ruling. Even if the court imposed a fine, who’s going to collect it? If they issue a warrant, who’s going to execute it?

I would liken it to a long freight train starting to move. Once the front starts moving, it will still be a minute before the back starts moving. The space between the train couplings is like the spring effect between atoms, or something.

Maybe the bunny has nasty, big, pointy teeth. I’ll fetch the holy grand grenade of Antioch!

Are you by chance Irish?

They say no. When you continue to insist on getting an account, your dad loses his patience and starts beating you with jumper cables.

AAAAAAHHHHH!
