Is anybody having an issue booting TailsOS using legacy boot (CSM) on UEFI motherboards using
syslinux bootloader? Boot stalls when attempted. Any boot logs available?
It is possible to modify the boot partition from an EFI partition, to a legacy BIOS. On certain makes of
machines, you can boot in CSM (Legacy) mode without an EFI partition. you can also
set relevant boot flags.
Certain makes of desktops and laptops can boot in legacy (CSM) BIOS mode, and certain ones can’t,
the legacy(CSM) mode doesn’t boot.
This thread is a little old, but I am having issues with booting 7.6.1 in legacy mode. It boots to tails, but no syslinux boot menu ever shows up. It is supposed to boot to legacy and uefi.
Hey I’m having an issue with boot where my persistence is unavailable/disabled, and I get partition error after the welcome screen. I’ve read another thread and see it could be related to this thing about Legacy/UEFI boot up, any advice? I’ve tried all the reinstalls, new USBs, and a little bit of adjustment in BIOS settings to no avail.
