Cannot find a Live system ???

[FatRakoon]

This is a silly issue that I dotn ge tthat often, just a few distros now and then.

Currently its doing it with the Latest NetRunner, but it was fine with v15

Im currently trying to install
netrunner-desktop-1701.2-64bit.ISO

In a VM, its fine, but when I tried my usual Linux PC, it failed.

What it does, is it boots fomr the Flash drive ( or DVD ) and then as it gets on its way, it decides that it cannot find a live system to boot from??

I have read a few places that this only happens on Gigabyte Mobos and there are a few tricks to overcome this issue, but none of the fixes fixes a thing, and today, I had a play with my Asrock Mobo and that does the same thing, and so its not just a gigabyte issue at all?

Anyhoo. does anyone here know about this issue, and, just as important, do you know of a fix that actually works?

Is the motherboard using UEFI or Legacy BIOS? .... I know when I re-author our RHEL install DVDs at work making sure the disks support both is a bit of a pain and if whoever has created the original ISOs here hasn't done it properly, and you are using UEFI, then you could have issues with that.

Dont know in all honesty.

I do default to boot from BIOS first, but I also know that UEFI is enabled.

I dont bother with EFI under Linux as it whines about wanting an efi FAT32 partitions and I cant be bothered eith it, plus its more risks to go wrong, but I cannot on my Motherboards actually disable it as such, I can only boot with it or not boot with it and I chose to install and boot without.

ADDITIONAL:

I have gone through a few Motherboards purely ina test to see if the Flash drive will boot at all and yes, it does boot on a couple of boards, and I am doing nothing further than just that on those... As I said, I wanted it on the ITX Setup to play with.

I will have a scout around inside these 2 ITX Boards to se if I get anywhere... They are both EFI boards, but the AsRock is proper UEFI with the full Graphical interface etc ( as opposed to just EFI I mean? )
