Lakka does not boot after installation on PC

Libretro Lakka
#1

I installed Lakka using the install command on a PC with a bootable live usb stick. That seemed to work. I am using the latest Lakka 2.1. Now when I am trying to boot, my PC after I get my EFI screen I get a black screen for about 5 seconds that it redirects me to the EFI setup. It seems to my the PC can’t find anything to boot from.

I started Lakka Live and went on the PC via SSH and checked the disks. This is what I see:

Lakka:~ # parted -l
Model: Generic Flash Disk (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 2037MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags:

Number  Start   End     Size    File system  Name     Flags
 1      1049kB  538MB   537MB   fat16        system   legacy_boot, msftdata
 2      538MB   2036MB  1498MB  ext4         primary


Model: Unknown (unknown)
Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 250GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags:

Number  Start   End    Size   File system  Name     Flags
 1      1049kB  538MB  537MB  fat32        primary  boot, legacy_boot, esp
 2      538MB   250GB  250GB  ext4         primary

So there is my disk at /dev/nvme0n1 (isn’t that supposed to be /dev/sda?) and it has a primary bootable partition. Does anyone know why Lakka is not booting?

Hi,

NVMe should be supported by the installer.

Can you mount the two partitions /dev/nvme0n1 and /dev/nvme0n2 and check that they are correct ?

Thank you.

have you checked the syslinux.cfg file to see if the filenames are correct?

It turned out I needed to flash my BIOS, which did not work well with my SSD (it did not really detect it). This was a bug in ASUS’ UN45 Model.
