Dendrobatus Azureus<p>For now this is the manner in which I have to monitor &amp; access my storage devices, using an obsolete notebook. </p><p>Make no mistake the middle IPS LED panel is not, I repeat _not_ driven by The Notebook. A dedicated audio device is driving that screen. A device which runs 24/7 using an embedded Linux version. This is one of the devices I have connected to my Analog Audio network, to make sure that there's always an audio signal in the network.</p><p>I'm using a Live version of my favorite Linux distribution. As you may remember, none of my bootable storage devices can be used, since they all have EFI and the notebook doesn't even know what language that is let alone access them in a bootable fashion.</p><p>Regretfully, the most important music playback program Music on Console {moc} is not on the dvd image, meaning that without internet I cannot use that program</p><p>I'm thankful that the composers of my favorite distribution have made sure that using it live, in this manner, works so smoothly, you would almost think it's installed on the machine</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Hardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hardware</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/failure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>failure</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Gigabyte" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gigabyte</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>enshittification</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>programming</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/notebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>notebook</span></a></p>

Dendrobatus Azureus<p>I have a lot of interesting news for your reading pleasure </p><p>You are seeing it correctly; I have been able to configure the old obsolete notebook computer, to boot from a live ENV: which is very familiar to me, then configured it to access all of my rEFInd enabled SSDs apart from my m.2 SSDs </p><p>The m.2 SSDs still need the piece of extra Hardware before I can use them on my USB3 SSD HDD 📥 trays</p><p>Now to properly describe the problem that arose;</p><p>I've installed rEFInd on all my storage devices. I naively expected my single and only EFI Computing device not to fail now, even though the device had run way too hot for a very long time. The miniPC was also taking slightly more and more time before it went past the EFI sequence of the POST.</p><p>AND SINCE IT'S MADE BY GIGABYTE OF COURSE IT FAILED EARLY! </p><p>When I put one of the devices in the old notebook naturally it failed to boot. What also occurred, and this was frightening, when I booted it from a USB device I still could not access the rEFInd configured SSD installed in the computer. Even though the drive was detected fine in the BIOS, it looked like the data was behind a wall of EFI. </p><p>Instead of panicking I just left everything for a day or two. I considered it like an aircraft that was crashing it couldn't get worse I still had backups Round Robin, in different places </p><p>Today I did the following, I removed the SSD from the old notebook.
