hi. im trying to install haos on my old hp pavilion dv6, but when i use ethcer, i freeze on 40 percent and then crash, when i try restoring image to disk method, i get: no bootable device found (i dont have anny secure boot uefi setting etc in bios)
how can i get haos to work and boot?
Don’t use the download link, download the image first.
The lack of UEFI bios will make it complicated and using a hypervisor like Proxmox to abstract the hardware from Home Assistant will use some of the already sparse memory on the machine.
Normally I would say get a couple of bigger ram sticks and the install Proxmox, but due to age of the computer, then it will probably be hard.
I suggest you find a new machine, than one that are probably around 15 years old.
A used mini PC does not cost that much and you get a machine that use less power and can still kick the old laptop around with ease.
