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.
You can fix this by booting a Live Linux Distribution of your choice. I used Ubuntu MATE, can be downloaded here and burned to an USB Flashdrive with Rufus. Afterwards boot with the USB Flashdrive and then you just register it to the BIOS via Terminal (Start Menu -> System Tools -> Terminal):
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.
