Back to Maui 1

[smoreau]

I have just installed Maui on a tower previously running on Netrunnre 14.2. The installation with Maui 2 run perfectly. The first boot led to the following messages :
PXE - MOF = exiting from Intel boot Agent
PXE-E53 = no boot filename received.
The boot ended at this position

Starting either from a USB key (already used for installation) or a DVD led to the the same messages.
Choosing mbr or sda as bootloader led to the same behaviour.

So I chose the Maui 1 USB key, and this time the boot was effective. I had to perform the complete update to reach Maui 2.1 configuration.

Is it a problem linked to Calamares ?
The machine :
Intel core 2 4400 2GHz.
Perhaps this could help in optimizing Calamares.

Would be nice if you can attach a log of calamares by running calamares -d otherwise it is like digging in the dark.
PXE errors looks like it tries PXE Network boot instead of booting from the harddrive.

Did you boot with UEFI ?
Do you have legacy/BIOS boot enabled ?
Is the partition table GPT or MSDOS?

[smoreau]

It is an old machine, no boot with UEFI, just bios. I tried both GTP and MSDOS and observed the same issue.
As the system is now installed and I want to bring back the machine to my friend, I would prefer not to restart the installation process. Is there another way to check Calamares ?
Thanks for your quick interest.

You could try in a vm. Though as the problem might specific to your partitioning scheme it won't help I guess.

[smoreau]

The partition scheme was rather simple.
All primary partitions
/
/swap
/home
Perhaps I do not use Calamares as expected ?
Don't worry about that my friend is happy with its Maui.
