LibreELEC doesn't start after the first installation

    Hi,

    I've just installed LibreELEC x86_64-10.0.4 on my thin client Fujitsu S740 (Intel Celeron j4105/Gemini Lake/Gen 9.5)

    Unfortunately LibreELEC can't boot.

    During instalation I seleted 8GB SATA SSD disk to install LibreElec system.

    Unfotunately I can't see this HD disk when I want to select it (in the BIOS) as bootable disk.

    Fujitsu S740 has only UEFI BIOS.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    EDIT:

    I've tried to install the newest nightly build 'LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-11.0-nightly-20230126-52cf225'' but it didn't help.

    Still after installation my system doesn't recognize internal 8G m.2 SATA bootable disk.

    From a web search your Fujitsu S740 seems not to boot from /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI of the internal disk by default.

    Unfortunately efibootmgr to set an EFI boot entry is not part of the installer image.

    Is there a menu in the UEFI BIOS to create boot entries?

    Thanks for replay. Yes I can select bootable disks and put them in desired order. I can also use F12 key to call boot menue during startup.

    Today I experimented a bit and I took this M.2 SSD out and put it in the M.2 to USB 3.1 adapter and after instalation I can sellect this disk as bootable. It works but it is inconvenient. I'd rather have this SSD inside.

    There is a community User Guide for the Fujitsu S740. Unfortunately in German, you may have to use a translation service.

    The original links of the following line shows the Linux boot problem:

    Code
    - Linux bootet nicht? Booteintrag muss manuell angelegt werden (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

    Thanks for providing a source of valuable information for my hardware.

    I was able to find a solution to boot issue.

    I installed LibreElac normally (on my SSD) and then booted from GParted Live on USB.

    I opened the terminal and used a command:

    Code
    sudo efibootmgr -c -d /dev/sda -p 1 -l '\EFI\BOOT\bootx64.efi' -L "LibreELEC"

    After a reboot LibreElac boots from SSD normally.
