JackBauer24 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Got it to work. The hidden EFI partition was empty on the boot stick. I don't know why. Now the stick is booting, drivers are loading (intel e1000, nvme (Sm951)...) Then the bluetooth controller gets detected. After that the graphics get garbled. I am using a EVGA GTX 980TI card. Next message is "still waiting for root device". Will I have to use the integrated Intel 530 HD Graphics, then install the Web-Installer from NVidia for the GTX980 for get this working? What's the problem with "waiting for root device"?

JackBauer24 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Success! Got it working. No more waiting for root device and the circle with the crossed line is gone. GUI second stage is loaded. But I don't have USB support. So no keyboard and mouse is working. I am using 2 USB connectors at the top of my case. Mouse and keyboard is connected to USB 2.0. On the board backside I only have USB 3.0 connectors. Do I need an additional driver? What can I do get USB working? Any special boot parameter?
