eMMC Boot - Installation & Compatibility

Solution 1:

I spent about an hour before finding a solution via trial and error. Thank you to all who assisted. I asked this question on two platforms, and my response is shared between them. This was the solution: "--In order for the system to recognized the installed OS, you must ensure the system is using UEFI boot mode as well as enabling Firmware TPM BEFORE installation. Secure boot MUST be off for installation and after installation. Legacy Option ROM should be disabled. After install, the system will recognize the OS and boot properly after the TPM check which will only occur at the very first bootup and never occur again."

Solution 2:

I have a Dell Inspiron 11 3000. Here's what I did:

• disable secure boot
• disable legacy boot, but keep UEFI.

And install normally. It shouldn't give problems. You need to check and remove any unwanted boot entry in the same screen where you disable secure boot. Our storage device is /dev/mmcblk0.

Since we have exactly the same hardware and it's not a very popular config, you can contact me directly if you need any other help.
