I am trying out a Clevo MZ41, pretty interesting machine. It is coreboot supported (Dasharo, in the future also Heads) which is exciting.

But I cant boot any live Linux? I tried Fedora Media writer and KDEs iso image writer. I tried Fedora KDE and KDE Neon (you see a trend haha) and also Ventoy.

These sticks normally always boot up, but here I get Dracut timeout, partition /root not found etc.

In the insydeH2O Bios I already disabled Secureboot entirely (not even needed, that Bios is awesome I can even deploy my own keys and all). Nothing changed.

Warning: /dev/disk/by-label/Fedora-KDE-Live-38-1-6 does not exist
Warning: /dev/root does not exist

... emergency mode ...

Anyone know whats going on here?

    Ventoy USB can be created to work both in Legacy and UEFI. It is also very easy to add more distributions later.
