can boot DIAL on USB with UEFI

Hi All, trying to build a DIAL server with a usb drive on a newer pc with win 8. Yes I want out blow out win 8!

Been having fun getting the pc to allow me to boot from usb.

I think I finally got it to boot from my usb stick with the Dial image on it. But all I got was blank screen.

I have been using this usb stick loading Dial on several older pcs with success.

This is the firs pc with UEFI win 8 I have tried to wipe out and its not cooperating.

any ideas on how to make this work?

Thanks,

Jon VA3RQ

Jon,
Can you tell me the video chipset of the motherboard.

The video is intel. If that helps. I cant seem to get more info than that.

The pc is an ACER aspire XC600 64 bit .

I did get into the bios and enable CSM and disable boot security.
I sett he boot order to usb device first.

This is an old topic but I have not seen a reply. I just wrestled this to the ground and thought it might help others.

It seems most new computers use UEFI boot and ASL1.01 is built on an OS version which does not support that feature. So you cannot boot the image you download from:

first thing to try is to see if your BIOS has a “legacy” mode that reverts from UEFI to the old BIOS boot. If not, don’t worry.

What you need to do is install a newer version of the OS and do a manual install. I wanted to use Debian so I downloaded 9.11 from here:
https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/debian-installer/

then I created a bootable USB stick with rufus.exe (MBR, FAT32 ISO mode). Note that the newest version of Debian - Buster (v 10) will not work. You need Stretch (v 9) for ASL 1.01.

Be sure to set your bios back to factory “optimized” settings if you have be playing with it.

Plug in the USB stick and reboot the system. While rebooting, repeatedly press the hot key for your system (in my case F7). A screen should come up showing the USB stick. Select that and follow the instructions for the Debian install.

Once up and running follow the instructions here:
https://wiki.allstarlink.org/wiki/ASL_FAQ#Can_ASL_be_installed_on_an_existing_Linux_install.2C_for_example_on_a_VM_running_Debian.3F
for a manual install,. Where it says ‘uname -r’ you should fill in the text produced when you type uname -r on your new OS. In my case it was:
4.9.0-11-amd64

When you are done, it is likely that the dahdi module will not be present - asterisk will not run until you build it as follows:

cd /usr/src/asl-dahdi-linux-2.11.1/linux/
sudo make
sudo make install

now reboot your system and it should come up with asterisk running.

A future release of ASL is promised which will be based on Buster and take care of this (3 year old?) problem

thumbs on on the BIOS legacy boot.

I just did a Ubuntu 18.04 install on a two year old laptop. Install failed until boot was changed from UEFI to legacy.

UEFI, for lack of more intelligent terms, is geared more toward a Windows boot

Yes - -that is the simplest approach and what I recommend. In my case, however, there was no way to get around the UEFI boot. I think we will see more and more of that in the future.
