frostbite

Thanks for your quick reply! I have upgraded the BIOS to version 1005, i'm running an i3-4130 CPU @ 3.40GHz. Under BIOS/Boot/Secure Boot i have: Secure Boot State: Disabled Platform Key (PK) state: unloaded OS Type: Other OS Under BIOS/Boot/CMS i have: Launch CMS: Enabled Boot Device Control:Legacy OPROM only Boot from Network Devices: Ignore Boot from Storage Devices: Legacy OPROM first Boot from PCI-E/PCI Expansion Devices: Legacy OPROM first I then have my hard drive as the first boot device. I have no problem booting unraid from the USB, but i can't boot off the hard drive. I think there may be an issue with this board and secure boot, i have googled and found this: http://www.rodsbooks.com/efi-bootloaders/secureboot.html . Maybe i've just done thing simple wrong, but i can't see what? Thanks for the help

hey guys, great forum and some really helpful information in this thread, great work! i also have brought this beauty of a case with the Asus H87I-Plus motherboard, has anyone successfully installed any linux distro and managed to get it booted up? i've tried ubuntu/debian without any luck, it seems to be something todo with the EFI boot loader security? All that happens after install, is it reboots and goes into the BIOS setup, you select boot from hard drive, and it exits and reboots, then back to the BIOS screen again every time. I read Asus has a bug(?) in the bios that doesn't allow you to disable secure boot and that you have to deleted all the key files, which i have done, and now secure boot is disabled, but once again after a reboot it just goes back to the BIOS screen?!? i have managed to boot unraid from a USB with no problems at all. any help would be greatly appreciated, and many thanks in advance.
