The > > error was Unable to load "/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod" Some short explanation of what Live image you're trying to boot with and at least your partitioning scheme might help. The GRUB error is indicative of GRUB not finding the partition in which the normal.mod module is stored. > > I had to buy some > > more USB sticks (my optical drive seems functional but will not boot > > the machine...) Why not? There should be no difference between a LiveCD and a LiveUSB. If anything booting off a USB on some MoBos could be more troublesome. Have you looked into this problem to find out if there was some MoBo setting you had to change (physical jumper/switch/cable, or firmware)? > > and used gparted to get into the partition, ......... > > =((( All my .mod files were in x86_64-efi > > > > >>> AND IT WAS WORKING ON THE OTHER MOTHERBOARD!!! <<< > > > > =~(((((((( > > Dear beloved Zardoz, what have I done to deserve your wrath??? > > Is the replacement motherboard UEFI and is t set that way in the firmware > menus? > > I think Zardoz would ask why you are subjecting yourself to GRUB when you > have much simpler options with UEFI hardware. Assuming this is a UEFI MoBo you can boot any kernel images on disk directly, as long as you can point the UEFI firmware to them.
