I try to install current stable version 21.1 Vera Cinnamon Edition on Asus K53SC laptop. It supports legacy BIOS boot mode. I use a separate physical SDD for this purpose so when installed I chose to erase disc and the installer created all the partitions automatically.
I cannot boot from the drive. On startup I get
Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key
I can boot from the usb stick made with Rufus but only in compatibility mode or using nomodeset boot option.
Here's the system info I obtain using
inxi -Fxxxrz
while booted into the live media

but it seems for me that it's not the reason after reading here and hereAm I wrong?
Here's the issue was in secure boot. For
lsblk -f
I have

Currently I haven't managed to find out anything else. Help please!
UPD
It seems that grub is on the disk with windows so I managed to get boot screen setting both disks to the boot order. But nevertheless I cannot boot the system - I stuck at black screen. I tried to modify the boot options from
quiet splash
to nomodeset
but it doesn't help.
