Your install is: Bare metal, ESXi, what CPU model, RAM, HD, what EVE version you have, output of the uname -a and any other info that might help us faster.

EVE-NG v5 isn't bootable

Post by dorz55 » Mon May 15, 2023 9:25 pm

All,

I need to install EVE-NG on bare metal. the ISO file just won't boot.
I tried Rufus, DD, Etcher etc. same problem. I can make boot from Ubuntu but not from the eve-ng ubuntu version :(

Any idea how to resolve this issue?

I remember had the same problem in the past but then we had the option to Install EVE-NG on existing Ubuntu which isn't an option with v5.

You kind help please.

Are you using the full ISO (Installation ISO (Full with dockers))? Over the weekend, I did a fresh bare-metal on a older HP ProLiant server this past weekend without issue. Using the full ISO with dockers, which is like 6.4 GB in size.
I used RUFUS to create my bootable USB.

I'm using the community version downloaded from here (google mirror):

I did validate SHA256
No Full for the community version :(
