Problems with install. Please Help

Support and Troubleshooting
1

Hello,
i tried to install unbrel os on my tiny server.
Because i actually have no bootable Windows machine by hand i used dd to
generate the boot stick. I think it succeeded because i can boot into that stick with legacy mode and uefi and install it on local ssd. The problem is when i reboot after finishing the install my Bios dont show me umbrel to boot, not in legacy mode and not in uefi mode. I even tried to install on another ssd no boot entry. Can you give me some guidance eventually ? This is also the way i usually install debian and so on and never got those problems.

Any help would be nice…

Hi there @BitBlock

Did you install umbrelOS onto the SSD whilst in UEFI or Legacy mode? You need to be in UEFI mode in order for the install to succeed.

If you have installed with UEFI mode but it’s still not booting, try disabling legacy mode and Secure Boot if enabled. If that still doesn’t work, you may need to try and create the USB media a different way and try installing again.

In rare cases, your hardware might just be incompatible with umbrelOS.
