I used Unetbootin to make a USB bootable disk with Cosmic Cuttlefish pre-release and post. It is the same USB stick I've used for at least 4 previous Linux systems, Ubuntu and Fedora. (On this same laptop.) Immediately on boot it says it can't find MMX64.efi. Looking in the boot directories there is no such efi file. Doing research I find I have to modify the EFI or turn off EFI in the BIOS. I have an HP Pavilion laptop with AMD A8 Elite Quad-core. Turning off the bios Legacy just makes the boot fail even before I get the Can't find error message. Trying to use efibootmgr it says: "EFI variables are not supported on this system." Doing more research efibootmgr is for Intel.



Any suggestions would be helpful. Trying to upgrade to my namesake, FeiWuzei 飞乌贼 is flying cuttlefish in Chinese.

  • If you do not need BIOS boot. UEFI only USB key, just extract ISO ( 7 zip or similar) to FAT32 formatted flash drive partition & set boot flag. askubuntu.com/questions/395879/…

I had the same problem (on my Acer Switch Alpha12), these are the options I chose in the BIOS:



Boot:




  • System boot mode: UEFI

  • Secure Boot: Enabled


Security:




  • I changed the bootloader file to grubx64.efi


This is what the path looked like for me:



BIOS > Security > Select an UEFI file as trusted for executing HDD0 > EFI > ubuntu > grubx64.efi



Then a prompt came up saying




Do you wish to add this file to allowable database?




I selected yes.



Exit-Save changes.



I hope that solves your problem
