My stupid Lenovo “Thinkpad” UEFI doesnt have a real F12 devices menu.

It just shows registered UEFI targets that can be booted.

This is pretty catastrophic, somehow I got Fedora and Windows installed, but thats it. If something breaks, I am in trouble. I cant do a memtest86 even though I think my RAM is faulty.

So in Linux, is there a way to add an UEFI entry to boot just any USB stick? Or to boot a specific one, like with Ventoy on it?

Thanks!

    Its the boot menu for sure.

    Maybe I need to set “legacy first” to boot from USB?

    There is no “boot from USB” in the BIOS and the F12 menu doesnt show devices, just UEFI entries.

      The BIOS should have a boot order option. You could set you USB as first priority there. Your USB may need to be plugged in to appear in this list.
