"rebooting in 15s"

[r_a_mueller]

Hi all,
1. I made a bootable CD with Brasero on Linux. From that CD I created a bootable USB drive. With this USB stick my 64 bit notebook boots into NAS4FREE. Therefore I assume the OS is installed correctly on the USB stick.
2. I got a new ITX Board (64bit) with UEFI instead BIOS. The UEFI settings are set to boot from the USB drive, especially the USB legacy settings.
3. I connect the USB drive with this board (USB2, USB3, internally, externally - all the same result) and start the computer. Everything seems OK until the bootmanager appears. I choose "1" to boot into the new OS. "Booting" appears with blue background.
4. Some messages appear (too fast to read them). Then comes "rebooting in 15s" (and it reboots - infinitely)

What can I do?

Thanks - Richard

The boot cd is meant to be a boot cd. It maps an OS to a CD. You have a USB stick mapping a cd to a file system. This gets ugly fast on newer computers. So let me give you the quick and dirt shortcut from Linux.

1) Download the latest image (NOT ISO) and open it with Archive Manager. Extract the image.
2) Get into a root shell. (In Ubuntu or the like "sudo -i")
3) CD to thw download directory with your image.
4) Insert USB stick and note where it is mounted. (I have two drives, so the next USB mounts as sdc for me)
5) cat ./NAS4Free-x64-embedded-9.3.0.2.1190.img | dd of=/dev/sdc bs=16k

You now have an actual image, not a psudo boot CD on a stick.
