HP Compaq Elite 8300 Ultra Slim & installing Linux...
by fatmac from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6K41B)
I've just got hold of a HP Compaq Elite 8300 Ultra Slim & was wanting to put NetBSD or Linux on it, problem is, once an O/S has been written to the internal disk, it doesn't boot, (been trying UEFI on a GPT partitioned disk) tried 4 different O/S, same problem with all of them, install OK, just won't boot, so it must be something on the motherboard or in the UEFI/BIOS setup.
Has anyone successfully got a distro to boot on one of these?
There is no problem accessing the disk to see what is on it, the system just won't boot, & there doesn't seem to be any 'secure boot' or 'quick boot' options to disable(?).
