Hello,
I have an old mini pc (zotac pi321) and was already successful to install linux mint a year ago (or so).
Now I want to install a fresh linux (do not ask why, I messed up the current installation). I want to use Bodhi 7 and the iso is already on the usb stick. the /efi/boot contains the file grubia32.efi and also the 64b efi files.
so far so good. In the bios I have deactivated secure boot and fast boot, have set efi to boot only (no legacy) and also have changed the boot order that usb is first.
save and exit - the boot process always brings me to the grub menus of the installed system and not to the grub entries of the usb stick!? From there I can access the grub terminal. I was following serveral online guides but apparently I always used the wrong one, because it is not working as intended. I could not boot Bodhi from the USB stick.
how can I boot from the usb stick (e.g. using the grub terminal with some commands ok - but what are the correct commands?) to install Bodhi?
the usb stick is sda...

Hi, I think you have to disable all the uefi/efi options on your bios and set it to legacy boot, also before creating the iso on the usb flash drive you have to format or make a partition table with MBR on the flash drive, then when you are ready to create the bootable system onto the flash drive, format it with legacy (CSM) boot if asked by the program you're using to make the bootable usb, hope this helps, cheers!
