After install cannot boot [Solved]

Yes indeed some VERY useful info here.

Yeah, I hate to bail on you, but I have to get to my much neglected chores. I will have to look at GSmartControl as I don't know what it is.

I am sorry we did not get more information for the MX team, but my uneducated 2 cents figures it is something to do with the UFS not really being a drive in the sense that it is some CHEAP work around, and perhaps the boot is somehow directly so it won't look elsewhere. My uneducated guess.

If I do get any answers for you, do I post on this thread, or somewhere else?

It is true. The mistake that started it all.

Any way you like.. this thread may be , it'll stay open (not locked by admins).

But, don't be disappointed, as we don't know why it cannot boot, maybe there's still a setting we're missing. (If the drive was completely faulty/broken it wouldn't boot indirectly, wouldn't let you format, install etc...)
