Cannot boot off of SD card reader












0















I have a Asus Zenbook ux31a and my SSD just died so I am trying to run off of a SD card but cannot get it to boot off of it.



I installed Ubuntu 64 bit onto the SD using a usb flash drive and created a boot option in the bios pointing to grubx64.efi but does not recognize.



Here is the online report created for the boot-info



http://paste.ubuntu.com/9931242/



Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

          I'm no expert on UEFI but looking at your link, I'm not convinced the SD card is right - it appears you have it booted from the USB-stick to obtain the report, however this:



          $ efibootmgr -v
          BootCurrent: 0001

          • Yes, only way i can boot at all is through a usb flash drive that has the ubuntu startup on it. I did a full install from this flash drive to the SD card and it seemed to be successful, however when I removed the usb flash drive, my zenbook will not recognize any bootable device. I tried to add a bootable device but that did not work either.

          • I also grabbed another USB flash drive and did a full install on it. It boots just fine but no wifi. Seems like taking 1 step forward and 2 steps back..

          Seems to suggest the SD isn't bootable.

          • Yes, only way i can boot at all is through a usb flash drive that has the ubuntu startup on it. I did a full install from this flash drive to the SD card and it seemed to be successful, however when I removed the usb flash drive, my zenbook will not recognize any bootable device. I tried to add a bootable device but that did not work either.

          • I also grabbed another USB flash drive and did a full install on it. It boots just fine but no wifi. Seems like taking 1 step forward and 2 steps back..
