New SSD not mounting/appearing in laptop with Coreboot/Libreboot only installed
by esplat from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5NF1T)
Hi. I have a new old thinkpad, x200 laptop that i'm having difficulty mounting a new ssd into. The lap-top is installed only with coreboot or libreboot the coreboot variant/fork not sure which. The modification was done by a professional not me..and seems to be fine
The SSD im trying to mount into the lap-top is new from the store . I have tried another HDD also, its also not mounting. I have tried so much to find the answer by web-search. Really i think i need access to another menu to mount, my guess/seems apparent
When i turn on the lap-top it goes to GRUB? menu automatically. However i cannot load an OS because the SSD is not being mounted although connected internally.
The OS is from a usb drive, and is authenticated by checksum, so not the issue im confident and anyway is appearing in the available boot menu but not installing. Im getting errors that no drive is there to install the OS in.
I try all the function keys to get to a sub-menu to mount the new SSD but cannot find the right key or way in yet. Any advice/direction welcomed.Thanks
