Hi everyone. I am trying to repurpose an old Vero 4K+ that i have laying around. It is a Linux machine running Debian 11 bullseye, but I might need some help i am afraid.

Out of the HA versions, OS seemed like the one I want, for keeping the option for add ons. I went ahead and used the Installation method on generic x86/x64 Option 2. As such i created a bootable usb through Balena Etcher on my Mac, it seems to have succeeded.

After inserting the usb on the target device, it doesn’t let me boot from it. I read in the tutorial usually one would configure the bios on EFI and secure boot, as far as i am aware, the OSMC doesn’t have that. I assumed it would be able to boot from the USB as that is the exact way OSMC is installed.

I am able to bring up the terminal when I press ctrl on a keyboard during the boot sequence.

Do you think it is possible to install HA OS on the machine? I hope so, i am aiming to combine it with a Sonoff ZBdongle-E to start my journey into HA.
