T620 - Libreelec USB does not booting

  • Hi,

    at first I want to introduce myself. I am from Poland and I am totally new in Libreelec. I registered here because I have an issue with installing Libreelec on T620 machine.

    The problem I have is that I created USB with Libreelec USB/SD creator tool. I used this file:LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-12.0.2.img.gz. I change BIOS settings to allow legacy BOOT in BIOS settings. BIOS is recognizing my USB but it does not boot. I have error saying "no boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed". I know that people use HP T620 with Libreelec so the question is how to install it?

    I also tried the same USB with Ubuntu and it starts normally. I just want to say that I am really basic user of linux. But I want to install Kodi on this T620 becuase I would like to use it as cheap media center. I do not want to have anything else than Kodi on it. So when anyone will turn on then Kodi will open automatically.


    Thanks in advance and Best Regards

  • emelsky If you are able to boot some other OS, e.g. Ubuntu Live USB, the issue is the BIOS not liking our syslinux bootloader. If that's the case you can boot into Ubuntu and perform a manual install. In short; create a new GPT partition scheme with two EXT4 partitions (BOOT = 512MB or 1GB and STORAGE = remaining space). Copy the KERNEL and SYSTEM files to the boot partition then install and configireu the working bootloader, e.g. if the Live USB uses grub2, install that, along with a boot entry to auto-boot LE (crib the content from the syslinux.cfg file). It's probably a good idea to ensure you're using the latest BIOS/firmware for the T620.
