USB Live system for emergency use

My server is also UEFI. The whole BIOS/UEFI setup only speaks of UEFI. On my laptop Acer E3-111 I can chose in the BIOS setup between booting in UEFI or BIOS mode.

I cannot chose this in the server BIOS/UEFI setup. But there is a "UEFI Guide" and other stuff which gives the strong impression that it is UEFI.

The laptop is booting in UEFI mode. I had set this when creating the stick and never changed it.

The stick is booting fine on the laptop. The stick is recognised as UEFI on the server when I can set the boot order.

I have no idea why the stick would not boot.

Zitat von gderf

How far does it get when it doesn't boot? Do you see anything at all? Or does it sail right past your selection of it and into the SSD boot?

Also, there are a huge number of Linux distributions out there and many offer a Live version for CD or USB. Have you considered trying one of those instead?

I am afraid we are circulating in this discussion. The boot just simply skips the stick. Other live versions don't provide SSH.
