I’m trying to install HA on a laptop (I have couple of few years old laptops laying around).
set bios as should be - UEFI with secure boot disabled . HA starts to grub with 4 options and wont go any further - whatever I choose it says unknown file system.
any ideas what I’m doing wrong?
I downloaded image, used etching software (tried under windows and linux), tried to write image on SSD and on pendrive - all to the same result.
What method did you use ?
To write the HAOS image to the boot medium on your x86-64 hardware, there are 2 different methods:
Method 1 (recommended): Boot Ubuntu from a USB flash drive and install the Home Assistant Operating System from there. It also works on laptops and PCs with internal hard disks.
Method 2: With this method, you write the Home Assistant Operating disk image directly onto a boot medium from your regular computer. The steps are a bit more complex. If you have non-removable internal mediums (for example because you are using a laptop) or do not have the necessary adapter (for example an USB to S-ATA adapter) use method 1 instead.

I used method 2 (as I was working long time in IT I have proper sata usb adapter) . Maybe that balera etcher is not the best fit for job…
Use Rufus .
