Fails to boot live USB to install Void Linux

[henrikstroem]

The base image (also tried with several of the flavor images) cannot boot the live image for installation on Lenovo Thinkpad T450. The machine can boot other Linux distros: Alpine, PopOS, Ubuntu, Artix, Arch, and anything else I have tried.

Expected behavior

Pressing F12 at boot shows the boot menu; selecting the USB stick should boot the live image.

Actual behavior

• After selecting the USB stick in the boot menu, the screen goes black, and the Lenovo logo appears (as when the power comes on).
• After a few seconds, the screen goes black again, and then the Lenovo logo reappears.
• After a few seconds, the grub menu of the previously installed OS appears.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

• Download image https://alpha.de.repo.voidlinux.org/live/current/void-live-x86_64-20210218.iso
• Follow instructions to write USB: dd bs=4M if=void-live-x86_64-20210218.iso of=/dev/sdb
• Insert USB into Lenovo T450 and turn on
• Press F12 to enter the boot menu
• Select the USB stick

Is it a UEFI machine? I think we don't work with strict UEFI systems (or something to that effect).

[henrikstroem]

The machine supports the following modes:

• UEFI
• UEFI + Legacy
• Legacy Only

Based on the comment from @ericonr I tried to set the machine to Legacy Only - that solved the problem.
Thanks a lot.
