I’ve failed to get volumio working on a Haswell NUC (D54250WYK - i5 4250U CPU).
Process was:
Use Win32 Disk imager to write img file to 2.5" SSD connected via USB/SATA adapter.
I then connect the 2.5" drive to the NUC via USB (with adapter), or directly to the internal SATA header, UEFI or legacy boot and it doesn’t work.
With legacy boot I get “no bootable media found”
With UEFI I get nothing for most of the time. The num-lock key on the keyboard does very slow, ominous looking flashes. If I leave it powered on then the volumio logo flashes on the screen for a fraction of a second after about half an hour and again about every half an hour after that.
Hard-wired to network and doesn’t show up on my router.
Wifi hot-spot is also not broadcasting.
I’ve tried re-imaging the disk multiple times.
No problems with the NUC or the disk:
- If I take the disk and put it in a lenovo X200 laptop it starts up and runs Volumio perfectly first time.
- I took the Linux Mint SSD out of my X200 and put that in the NUC and it booted first time, no problems.
- I also took a Windows 10 SSD out of an i7 desktop and another out of a lenovo X200 and those both booted fine in the NUC too (making use of the trick that you can take a Win10 disk out of pretty much any computer and throw it in another one and it will boot up no problems).
The only explanations I can think of at the moment is that that either:
- there is some incompatibility between the way the volumio disk image boots and the boot options on this NUC
- it works, but the drivers for wifi, wired ethernet and graphics systems I need are not on the Volumio image.
I found zero hits on this website when searching for Haswell, but surely I can’t be the only person trying to get Volumio working on a Haswell PC?
Has anyone had similar problems or know of a workaround?
