Hi. I have created a Ventoy USB and  have formatted the ISO partion as NTFS
I have put Mint 20 Cinamon on it. 64bit.
I have an old PC that has Legacy & UEFI.
I can boot to Mint in Legacy and it runs but not in UEFI
I have tried the normal install and screen freezes.
I have tried comatibility but it gets so far then stops at
ACPI: Video Device [VGA] (multi head:yes Rom:no Post:no)

Also just wiped a 16gb usb and installed Ventoy 21 and did nothing else.
copied linuxmint-20-cinnamon-64bit.iso to partition.
Set as UEFI boot mode and still refuses to load either normal or compatability
any help?

Further investigation and I have had Bios set as CSM = Disabled and Boot UEFI only
This does not work

Set CSM=Enabled and Boot UEFI and it works.

I thought UEFI booting did not require CSM to be enabled??
Pls advise why.

tks

I've been testing Ultimate Boot CD (UBCD) with Ventoy, and achieved what I would call partial success.  I had to use legacy boot, but then was able to boot any of the options I tried, including FreeDOS and Parted Magic.  In the case of FreeDOS, it doesn't see either of the M.2 SSDs - not exactly surprising.  It's more disappointing that loading the provided "USB Mass Storage" driver doesn't detect another FAT32 thumb drive that was plugged in.  This makes it harder to do anything useful with FreeDOS.  Parted Magic had a similar result.  While it can detect the additional thumb drive, it was also unable to see the M.2 SSDs.  Since Parted Magic's remit is cloning, repairing, and editing your disks, it's a bit of a problem not to have one's disks available.    

On the other hand, I couldn't get pure Parted Magic to boot at all, despite its presence on the "Tested" list.  It seemed to lock up or dump me to a shell at different stages of the boot process.  Perhaps I'm doing something wrong?

I created a Ventoy USB stick and it worked great.



I wanted to replicate the setup on my pre-existing portable USB drive and am hitting a weird issue.

EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi I copied to the EFI/BOOT/ folder

grub, tool and ventoy folders from the root of ESP I copied as well.

When I load bootx64.efi it ignores the grub.cfg and drops straight to grub console



Then when I load the cfg manually, the screen resizes like I would expect from ventoy, but it doesn't render the UI correctly at all.


It does this both in Virtualbox and real hardware.

Is there any way to get this working for a pre-existing EFI folder?

This does not seem to work

It seems to be trying to load the ISO from /_ISO/ANTIVIRUS folder and fails.

I'll keep updating by the time I check every ISO

y用ventoy格式化处理u盘时，只生成一个分区，没有启动分区。也无法显示启动菜单。
用磁盘管理器查看，在末尾有一个大概3M左右的保留空间，其余是一个分区。

Hi,
I tested Win10XPE_x64.iso with the latest version 1.0.21 and with the Option Secure Boot enabled

I get the ERROR – Verification failed: (15) Access Denied!

I followed the procedure here About Secure Boot in UEFI mode
and everything worked well with also the Y drive: mounted, Great 

Is there any way to simplify the Mok Management Wizard ?
Without all the confirmation steps: "Press Any Key", (Enroll Mok) Continue, (Enroll the Key) Yes
It would be nice if it could be done in 1 step: Enroll EFI Key and Reboot
