Recently I acquired a Fujitsu Futro S740. Its sold as a thinclient, but is technically a full blown pc with a small SSD (8 or 16GB). I replaced it with a M.2 2280 B+M Key SSD and planned to use it as “Retrostation”. I tried recalbox, however the S740 only allows GPT/EFI boot, there is no legacy mode anymore. So I tried batocera. It boots well from the USB Stick but after installing to the SSD from the Menu it doesn’t boot.
I got this fixed by booting a Live Linux and set the EFI Partition to label “EFI system partition” and edited the flags to “boot”,”esp”,”legacy boot” (use GParted and Ubuntu Mate Live CD for ex.). After wards you just register it to the BIOS with: efibootmgr -c -d /dev/sda -p 1 -L "Batocera" -l '\EFI\BOOT\bootx64.efi'
The command won’t work from within Batocera, using a bootable linux of an USB stick is mandatory.
Reboot and have fun.
