T430 - booting LM20.3 cinnamon in legacy mode. Used it to burn a LM21.1 iso to a stick with the usb imagewriter. Confirmed it booted on the T430 (BIOS set both, UEFI first), confirmed it was UEFI with efibootmgr. Note BIOS did give me a choice of either ubuntu (which didn't work) or the drive (which did).
On the M720q (which shipped with win10) disabled secure boot and turned off TPM 2.0. BIOS set UEFI. The F12 boot menu gave me the choice of USB HDD, partition 2 (which is the EFI partition). The stick boots to grub, select LM21.1, get the plymouth splash screen but after a while:
Code: Select all
unable to find a medium containing a live file system
attempt interactive network boot
Only warning that shows when booting legacy is "SGX disabled by BIOS".
Are there any other settings in BIOS that I need to change?
Things I have yet to try:
- ventoy
- booting from DVD (similar problem on my home built desktop - could not get it to boot a mint stick UEFI, but it was happy booting UEFI and installing from DVD).
- booting from an external usb drive with mint (20.3) already installed in UEFI mode.

Yes I will post an inxi, but a bit of a faff unplugging and re-plugging everything.
While I could install legacy, my desktop would not boot legacy off an nvme drive, I will be fitting an nvme drive in the M720q and don't want to find out I have the same problem.
