which is leading me to believe 32-bit UEFI
I could be quite wrong, but 32bit UEFI seemed to be a specialty of Atom CPU devices (including my problematic Ideapad 100s) with 2GB or less RAM; devices with Celeron or Pentium labelled 64bit CPUs (which includes the N3350) with 4GB or more RAM seem to be normal 64bit UEFI nearly exclusively.
Normally I don't think you can even boot a 64bit only UEFI bootable medium from a 32bit UEFI BIOS, which fails to find the 32bit UEFI boot loader and ignores the medium.

Could be a specialty of Atom's dependant on age etc.. Usually one sees the 32-bit UEFI on tablets or those close in specs. You're correct 64-bit won't boot on 32-bit..
Most distro's if they support UEFI are 64-bit, hense why one needs to add the 32-bit boot file to allow UEFI to be reconized then install the 32-bit OS.. (If UEFI is the only option - no legacy)
Although I'm not 100% sure ??? - further googling or the link I provided for additional info on the 32-bit UEFI...

I was under the assumption he had not.. :-\ :-\
Quote: I tried a live USB stick as well as the iso file burned on to a DVD to boot LL but in both cases, the devices were not recognised.
