wowgameavision Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Hello all, Trying to install 10.10 on a Dell 6220. It's on the compatibility list, and I have created a clover USB install. The installer successfully boots on other systems, but on the Dell I get a 'Selected Boot Device Failed." The BIOS is the latest A13. In the BIOS I've reset everything to default and set AHCI as recommended. I'm using the Legacy instead of UEFI (also recommended). Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Thanks!

wowgameavision Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 I tried both USB ports without success. Other bootable USB devices do work on this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted July 29, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 29, 2015 Make sure secure boot is disabled in the BIOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowgameavision Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 This BIOS doesn't specifically have a secure boot option, but looking through the settings nothing is enforced or secure, with the exception of CPU XD mode which I wouldn't think would be an issue. I've done D620s and D630s before using the tools and advice here with little issue. I wonder if this laptop just has a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted July 29, 2015 Administrators Share Posted July 29, 2015 Same thing with the combo eSATA/USB2.0 port on the left side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowgameavision Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 The bad news is that the combo port also fails, the good news is that you just taught me it was a combo port! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted July 29, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 29, 2015 Try with a different brand of USB. HDD with USB adapter works too. Just need to boot with -v, otherwise you'll get the infamous ebios error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted July 29, 2015 Administrators Share Posted July 29, 2015 Or try with Chameleon; it works fine with versions such as r2401 or 2468. Just needs a bit more work with AICPUPM to avoid KP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowgameavision Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 I tried a Kingston USB instead of SanDisk with no luck. I also grabbed a E6420 and my USB would not boot on it either. It successfully boots on three different Lenovos. I feel like I am a setting away, but feelings don't count for a lot. I will look up how to do Chameleon and give it a shot. Thank you for you help on this. I'm pretty lost when things just don't work without an error code or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
