Hi

Got my barebones unit, installed 8G sam and mSata drive.

Have my usb stick with Linux (Centos 7) to install.

But for some reason its trying to boot into vmware ???

Where is vmware esxi installed !
How do I by pass vmware boot and boot from usb stick


Also the bios has set memory speed to 800mhz, its rated at 1333mhz ?

In order to boot/install OS from USB, you will have to change the boot order in BIOS so that the system tries USB before SSD. When I installed Linux on Fitlet, it took a bit of trial and error to adjust the BIOS to boot from USB.

Is it possible the mSATA SSD you are using already had VMWARE installed? That coupled with a boot order where the SSD goes before USB might explain what you are seeing.

Cool worked that out.

Yes I am guessing my new SSD wasn't as new as somebody would make me believe !
