No bootable device on NUC

Installation
1

Hi, i’m trying to do a clean install on a NUC 5y3iryh on an internal m.2 Sata SSD.

  • Used ubuntu live to Etch the image onto the internal drive.
  • UEFI boot sees the boot device in the BIOS, secure boot and legacy boot disabled
  • BIOS updated to latest version to rule out issues.
  • Checked efibootmgr, deleted an old windows boot manager.

Still, whenever i boot up i get the message that no bootable device has been found.
What am i doing wrong, i’ve installed HA on another nuc years ago with the specific NUC image that was available back then, but this one is for a family member, and i can’t get it to boot somehow.

Most likely your USB drive is not bootable. Try another bootable disk u know it works and see if you can boot.

I’m installing it to the internal harddrive of the nuc. The usb drive is a live Ubuntu stick which i use with balena etcher to write the image

The issue has been solved, the problem wasn’t the drive, tested it in a different PC, and booted HAOS just fine.
Looks like some freak bug in the NUC Bios. Flashed another SSD, same issue… until i added the old SSD through USB > SATA adapter, and used F10 to get the startup menu. Selected the internal SSD, and booted up just fine. :roll_eyes:

For older NUC systems, there are often newer BIOSes available.
Always suggest updating the BIOS before installing ANY os.
