Hi,
I’m trying to flash the Generic x86_64 (GPT) image to a ODROID-H3+ (BIOS 1.15). After booting it shows “Welcome to GRUB!” for a second and then goes to a blank screen with no other output. I’ve left it on for 10+ minutes and it does nothing. I’ve tried different ports and different USB drives, same results.
Are there specific BIOS/UEFI settings I should look out for?
Thanks
My USB drive was formatted as MBR instead of GUID. I expected Etcher to prepare the drive for me, but I had to manually change it to GUID before flashing with Etcher. After switching from MBR to GUID it booted and installed as expected.
If it’s technologically possible, it would be good to have an error message show up when booting, or a warning when flashing a GTP image to an MBR drive. Even better would be to format it automatically to the required type.
hi @pateco, could you please tell us what operating system you were using Etcher on to program the USB?
balenaOS flasher images are raw images that already contain the partition table, and Etcher will flash them at offset 0 by default, so this is not something we would expect to happen.
I was flashing on Ubuntu 22.04 using balenaEtcher-1.18.11-x64.AppImage
