I just did a fresh from-scratch install of 12.0 onto a 1TB SATA drive using the memstick img file (dd'd onto a USB stick). All seemed to go just fine, and I made it all the way to the end with no problems. When asked if I wanted to reboot to the new system now I clicked yes, and when the system started to do the BIOS POST stuff I powered off and used the opportunity to remove the USB stick. Then powered on again. The machine -seemed- like it was starting to boot, but then after a few seconds, a BIOS screen came up. Bummer. I repeated to verify this apparent brokenness. I figured that this must be something to do with EFI so I went in and found a BIOS thing titled "Secure Boot menu". That gave me just two options, i.e. (1) Windows UEFI mode or (2) "Other OS". It -was- set to Windows UEFI mode. I changed that to "Other OS" and then power cycled again. Alas, still no joy. What am I doing wrong? Hardware is: CPU: i3-4130 (hyperthreading recently disabled in BIOS) Mobo: ASUS B85M-G Bios: AMI 2.10.1208 (w/ASUS enhancements?) Harddrive: WD1001FALS
