Failing to install Mint on Boot. Not Found

I have created an USB key with Mint, but when I boot from it I get a few lines of errors

  • Failed to open \EFI\BOOT\mmx64.efi - Not Found
  • Failed to load image ??: Not Found
  • Failed to start MokManager: Not Found
  • Something has gone seriously wrong: import_mok_state () failed: Not Found

I have tried disabling safe boot, and fast boot. I have confirmed that my system has UEFI.

I believe that I once managed to run Mint off the USB but have not managed to do so since

hawgietonight,

I recall having the image not found error last time. A mix of creating the USB with another program and tinkering with bios solved the issue. Sorry can’t be more specific, but Linux is all about tinkering, so have fun :)

Disable UEFI, enable legacy boot. Reinstall and it should work

Kingofthezyx,

This just happened to me, once you make the bootable USB, open it up, go into EFI/boot, and copy grubx64.efi, then rename it to mmx64.efi

Everything should work from there.

just_another_person,

Have you tried booting directly from the BIOS and seeing it recognizes the partition? There might be a toggle for UEFI.

Yeah the bios did see the drives… I ended up installing Ubuntu instead. That seems to go well. Currently installing

Disregard3145,

What happens if you plug the stick into another box and check it for errors

I ran the error checking on windows on it and it found no issues.
