USB flashed from 64bit PC iso is not bootable #2080

Describe the bug

After successfully flashing the usb with the .iso file with Etcher, the USB is not bootable.

Context

I tried with different USB sticks, different ports, using etcher on different operating systems and downloading the .iso different times to rule out corrupted downloads.

In the BIOS secure boot is disabled, if it matters.

Tried flashing other distros to see if it was a BIOS issue, but both ubuntu and kubuntu are bootable.

To reproduce

  1. Go to https://yunohost.org/en/install/hardware:regular
  2. Download "Regular computer 64 bits - default" (https://build.yunohost.org/yunohost-bullseye-11.0.9-amd64-stable.iso)
  3. Flash the USB using Etcher -> Flash is completed successfully
  4. The usb is not recognized as a bootable device in the BIOS.

Expected behavior

The usb should be recognized as a bootable device in the BIOS.

I was also affected by this today.

Checksum matches, not a ISO corruption issue (I burnt it on various pendrive, with various image manager). And because I received a new mini PC server (an Asus PN41), I kept blaming the BIOS of this new hardware for not detecting the drive in the boot options. After 5h of trial and error, I had the idea to put a Ubuntu Server LTS iso on the pendrive and it worked. Same for a Debian 12 Bookworm net install iso. I wish I knew about this bug before. 😅

Too bad for me. I was sort of hoping YunoHost could ease things for me. But I'll have to learn how to manually install everything from a Debian because YunoBoot. 🥲

@Deevad You can install Debian 11 (not 12!) and then install Yunohost on top of it. The YNH documentation on this topic is a bit vague, but I managed to make it work. I plan to write a guide soon.

Actually, @Deevad something that would be easier for you: Use Ventoy to create a usb-stick that can boot any iso file! See the instructions I wrote here: https://forum.yunohost.org/t/installing-yunohost-on-an-old-intel-mac-pro-tower-computer-from-2008-2010/27970 (only look at the section about Ventoy)

(... I really need to dig into https://wiki.debian.org/RepackBootableISO to try to create new ISOs which work like the official Debian ISO does ... )
