  1. So neither .iso nor .img will boot #FreeBSD off of a USB thumbdrive or another, ventoy or raw.
    The #ThinkCentre M73 freezes at installer boot screen.

    #PXE it is. Weirdly #dnsmasq changes the boot file (#wireshark showed me it appends `.0`) in the proxy ACK, but not in the original offer. Whatever, `cp`.

    But now it seems like the file size is erroneously transfered, and therefore the #TFTP transfer gleefully halts mid-file.

    At least now it's stalled at a blinking cursor instead of freezing.

    Sigh...

  3. @RcrdSgrd Could you tell more details about the device, name / type and hardware configuration (CPU, RAM, GPU, Screen Size).

    I had simply more luck 😉 or did something different. Installation and running debian on different machines, new and old ones, from Dell (Desktops and Laptops), Lenovo (Desktops and Laptops), intel nuc (Desktop) and Terra (Laptop), Razer (Laptop) was without any problems.

  8. OK, funny thing. This was not caused by anything in the UEFI, like some setting I set wrong. This was caused by a faulty miniDP-to-Displayport cable. Replacing the cable and suddenly I have UEFI boot screen and everything after that visible on both VGA and Displayport outputs.

  9. This is the server: it's an old #lenovo #thinkcentre with a 6th gen #Corei5 . It only supports #sata disks and it's pretty loaded atm. With the current #chipshortage and the prices spike, it doesn't make sense to buy sata ssds, so I decided for an upgrade. (Continues...)

  15. Und in einigen Tagen kommen im besten Fall (die Tests stehen nämlich noch aus) diese 19 schnieken #Lenovo #ThinkCentre​s bzw. #ThinkStation​s dazu. 😍

  16. Which Lenovo products support Linux?

    Here's your starting point! Their Linux team maintains this list of platforms that support not only Fedora, but @ubuntu as well! And it's not strictly speaking the products that you can buy, but also the history of platforms that have been tested for Linux.

    It's a super valuable official resource for ThinkPad fans, basically lol

  17. Which would you choose and what would you do with it? A pack of playing cards for scale.
