Downloaded and installed Fedora Linux but it won't boot into ot

[covert beacon]

Dell Latitude 5491 isn't booting into Fedora

Secure boot is off

It's booting with UEFI I also tried Legacy but nothing changed

can anybody help pls?

[wispy dawn]

are you using intel raid? if you're not sure then you can check in bios

also turn off fastboot in control panel

[covert beacon]

Yes

[covert beacon]

There is no option to fast boot

The problem is also that I can't see the internal hdd as a boot option when I switch to legacy

[wispy dawn]

Change it's mode to ahci

[wispy dawn]

It's in the power options > choose what power button does > change advance settings then turn off the fastboot option.

[covert beacon]

Thanks I will try that out

[covert beacon]

Did that

[covert beacon]

There is only these options

I changed it to Auto and it didn't help

Thorough was the default

[wispy dawn]

@jt

[covert beacon]

Wdym with this?

[wispy dawn]

I'm summonig a pro cuz I'm not sure which option you should go with

[covert beacon]

I tried them all

And nothing worked

We can go this through step by step

I press F12 and see this

There should be a Fedora boot option according to what I saw online

[wispy dawn]

Wait you don't even see the boot menu when you start your pc? Like for me it's esc button. You know which button is for u?

[covert beacon]

F12 this goes into the black menu

Pressing Enter on BIOS Setup bringst up the "white-grey" menu

[wispy dawn]

Add your specs in the original post cpu, gpu

[wispy dawn]

When you keep pressing f12, do u get a list to choose for booting?

[covert beacon]

I get this

[covert beacon]

8GB RAM, Intel Core i5, internal GPU

It's a typical Dell Latitude 5491

[wispy dawn]

Can you show me what's inside intel software guard extension?

In the system configuration settings, there should be a SATA option, make sure that is on AHCI. Fast startup should be fine. Fast shutdown is a Windows option, is this a dual boot, or Linux only? If only Linux, you wouldn't need to worry about it. If dual boot, make sure you've gone over this list: https://discord.com/channels/304606245132697600/1365158415063584808

[covert beacon]

Linux only

[covert beacon]

Its on AHCI

[wispy dawn]

Bro how did you make bootlable drive?

[covert beacon]

Balena Etcher

Downloaded Fedora Workstation

And flashed the USB stick

Pressed F12 boot into USB stick then live boot into Fedora

After that I just followed the Fedora install

[wispy dawn]

So you flashed the iso correctly and turn on and off all the right settings and yet you're unable to boot in fedora

[covert beacon]

exactly

I'm trying out Nobara now

[covert beacon]

still not working

[wispy dawn]

Bro wait

Try another distro like debian based or arch based just to see if you're able to boot in that or not?

[covert beacon]

could you say for what (sry I don't want to sound impolite just genuinely curious)

[covert beacon]

I tried endeavourOS as well

but nothing changed

[wispy dawn]

Wait do you have an nvidia gpu?

[covert beacon]

nope integrated intel gpu

[wispy dawn]

Two things is your bios updated? And since linux distros aren't showing up in boot menu, can you set the usb as first boot priority?

[covert beacon]

I can but it just boots into the live environment

[wispy dawn]

But you have to go in the live env to install it.

[covert beacon]

I did

more than 4 times

do you want to call? I can show it with my phone what I do?

now I will reinstall Fedora

it is installing right now

IT WORKED
