Partitioning question // 128GB SSD

Then it's something that it can't detect the drive. You can change Ahci back to previous one in Bios and try..

Well what can it be? I used gpt and the installation worked normally, then I rebooted after finished installation like normally. After that it showed the gnub munu again for installation (from my bootable USB stick), but not the SSD in boot options

With Sata Controller mode to "Compatible"(instead of AHCI) and Boot mode to "legeacy support" it showing the SSD, but why not with UEFI and AHCI on?

Please show partition layout by running this command when booted with LiveUSB in UEFI-mode:

Code: Select all

sudo parted --list

Code: Select all

sudo lsblk -f

Do also show the UEFI entries this way:

Code: Select all

sudo efibootmgr -v

Is it non-booting because of the lack of a Flag concerning ESP?
Was asked before but did I miss something ... ?

... Or, Did you leave the usb attached at first reboot after installation?

As mentioned, @sfxmx please provide information requested in my post above.
Thanks

Maybe it his handy for to have a complete story how to handle UEFI et al...
It is for Ubuntu but for this story that's ok, its quite similar to MX-Linux using apt.

Nicely explained,
In this article it is written that Ubuntu is able to be installed in two modes 1. BIOS/CSM/legacy mode 2. UEFI/UEFI mode.

Does the same choice of automatic installation path apply to MX?

For a disk of 128 GB, on an laptops with BIOS (not UEFI), things'd go great with
1. 30 GiB for system '/' + ext4 (boot flag) (as someone said before SSD need some bufor free space to work properly, the mentioned bufor is within this 30 GiB)
2. 8 GiB for '/Swap' + ext4 (so all your Ram Memory could dump into Swap. Less would work in some cases)
3. rest (128 - 30 - 8 = 90 GiB) for '/home' + ext4

If we would add here UEFI than create one more partition at the beginning
0. 200 mb '/boot/efi '+ fat32 (boot flag) (instead of '/')
