Not sure about tag "bios-outdated-0055". The latest BIOS for this machine is 0055: see https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/85254/Intel-NUC-Kit-NUC5CPYH As for live CD: no, it can't be reproduced that way. The specific sequence is: * Boot from USB in UEFI mode * Repartition the disk, but for

Separate issue #1609715 raised about installer continuing with UEFI installation even if there is no ESP. This specific hardware is now working fine. I would still like recovery mode to be more predictable in the event of startup problems: after all, the whole point of recovery mode is for when t
