The issue of the installation media not being bootable in UEFI mode might be due to the missing GPT on the devices. You might want to try creating a GPT on the devices. This helps on my Thinkpad E470. To create a GPT do the following, assuming the boot media is at `/dev/sdX`: # gdisk /dev/sdX GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.8 Partition table scan: MBR: MBR only BSD: not present APM: not present GPT: not present *************************************************************** Found invalid GPT and valid MBR; converting MBR to GPT format in memory. THIS OPERATION IS POTENTIALLY DESTRUCTIVE! Exit by typing 'q' if you don't want to convert your MBR partitions to GPT format! *************************************************************** Command (? for help): p Disk /dev/sdX: 15138816 sectors, 7.2 GiB Logical sector size: 512 bytes Disk identifier (GUID): BAFE831A-9632-464D-B919-E70907745BFA Partition table holds up to 128 entries First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 15138782 Partitions will be aligned on 4-sector boundaries Total free space is 6260593 sectors (3.0 GiB) Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name 1 4020 11831 3.8 MiB EF00 EFI System 2 11832 8882175 4.2 GiB 0700 Microsoft basic data Command (? for help): w Final checks complete. About to write GPT data. THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING PARTITIONS!! Do you want to proceed? (Y/N): Y OK; writing new GUID partition table (GPT) to /dev/sdX.
