Using Ventoy usb boot with lenovo

1 points · submitted 11h ago by u/WheelPerfect3737

I have used the USB app Ventoy which allows for booting from the USB for ISO's on the USB and for some reason there is 1 USB that the Lenovo t14 does not work with Ventoy. The Lenovo with other USB's works with Ventoy and it can view the files on the USB.

What would cause Lenovo to not show any information on boot of a specific USB device?

I installed Fedora 44 (with Plasma) on two different ThinkPads models by live-booting from a Ventoy drive, several months ago.

I have since seen a thread on Reddit that says this won't work, but it did for me - and in fact for booting-in live later on to fix a mess-up I made in the fstab file.

Perhaps it matters what kind of SDD or NVME you are using, or even what kind of caddy. My setup is a Toshiba 256 GB SSD in a Micron PCIe SCSI Disk Device.
