i am new user of armbian and i really like it. so i am experimenting with it a little. yesterday i successfully installed armbian on one of my old laptops in the lab (Armbian Bullseye with XFCE desktop with kernel 5.15.y released on feb 27, 2023), so currently it boots from internal hard drive. today i wanted to try another image, so i wanted to do the same thing:
but the step 1 failed - instead of booting the system from USB key (yes - i selected the USB key on laptop start), system started from the laptop's hard drive.
i think, this is not expected behavior. or am i missing something and it is really a feature? 🙂
anyway - thanks for the project. it gives my old laptops new life

Question
bletvaska
hello
i am new user of armbian and i really like it. so i am experimenting with it a little. yesterday i successfully installed armbian on one of my old laptops in the lab (Armbian Bullseye with XFCE desktop with kernel 5.15.y released on feb 27, 2023), so currently it boots from internal hard drive. today i wanted to try another image, so i wanted to do the same thing:
1. boot from USB key
2. download the new image on USB key
3. run
xzcat armbian.img.xz | dd of=/dev/sda status=progress
4. reboot laptop (to new system)
but the step 1 failed - instead of booting the system from USB key (yes - i selected the USB key on laptop start), system started from the laptop's hard drive.
i think, this is not expected behavior. or am i missing something and it is really a feature? 🙂
anyway - thanks for the project. it gives my old laptops new life
