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. Afterwards boot with the USB Flashdrive and then you just register it to the BIOS via 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.
