Hi folks,
I really wanted to try LL 4.0 on my Asus TP200SA laptop, which has 32GB of emmc memory soldered to the board. It originally came with Windows 10 which is insane taking into account the amount of memory this device has.While ago I replaced the Windows with Kali linux for some time, but i really didn't use it as much as i once intended so i decided to swap it for LL 4.0 (64bit).
I made a bootable USB with Etcher and disabled security boot in the BIOS settings, also enabled SMC which to my understanding is like legacy mode. My laptop recognized the USB and i proceeded to test the live version (I fell in love, props for the developers) At that point i started installing LL with the provided installer. I chose Erase Everything, installation went smooth and without errors, but after i restarted the computer it went directly into BIOS and doesn't even show the emmc memory as a option to boot from.
I read here on the forum that other people are having this problem too, but couldn't solve it for myself so i decided to ask. I saw somewhere that i should add bootie32.efi to /boot/efi on the usb but i cant find such thing anywhere. I would really appreciate any help from you kind people.
PS I also tried with LL 3.2 32Bit, LL 3.8 32bit and 64bit all without success, except for Kali linux lite 64bit but i used UEFI settings to install it.
Best Regards,
Acho
