Mint Cinnamon 64bit wont install
#4
so after hours of testing.
I have an old PC 2012 Lenovo that does have CSM & UEFI settings in bios
i have tried using Rufus to make a few different types of install usb sticks using
linuxmint-20-cinnamon-64bit.iso ( MBR , GPT , NTFS, 32Bit etc)

I have the PC set to boot Non CSM & Set as UEFI , and have Rufus make a stick as GPT - UEFI
I can boot USB and go through the install.
I set the correct partitions as GPT and then set UEFI partition and swap file and main partition
Every thing goes fine and seems to install
I then take out USB stick and it does not boot. error in the sqash file cannot be decoded.
I set the Bios to CSM - Legacy and says there is no OS installed.

Is it because i have an Old PC and can only install under Bios CSM & Legacy or am i missing something

I can install Linux Mint 20 under CSM + Legacy and it works fine, but wanted to try and see if i can do it under UEFI only
