Some operating system have problems running with different storage medias. These table shows currently tested systems on BIOS v4.9.0.x with corresponding medias:
| OS | SD card | SATA disk | mSATA disk | USB stick |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Voyage | X1 | OK | OK | OK*2 |
| Debian | OK | OK | OK | OK*2 |
| OPNsense | OK | OK | OK | OK*2 |
| pfSense | OK | OK* | OK | OK*2 |
*- works well with BIOS v4.6.8 or later in mainline and all legacy releases;
for v4.6.7 and older mainline versions issues with installation and system
functionality (installation break, unwanted reboots), can be fixed by adding
a hint hint.ahci.0.msi="0", for more information see this document
*2 - all apu boards have problems with USB 3.x stick detection in BIOS, system is working properly, but after reboot/warmboot/coldboot USB stick may not appear in BIOS boot menu (depends on the stick, well working sticks are mentioned in this document)
X1 - Voyage Linux is bootable on SD card and works well in read-only mode, remounting as read-write and writing changes to SD sometimes results in kernel panic which often leads to non-operable system
