I test this image[1] on my Loongson 3A6000 machine with XA61200 board, I
installed Debian sid on my computer successfully just now, thanks!

But, my Loongson 3A6000 machine can not boot this image which I make a
bootable usb disk with dd command. Then I boot this image whit UEFI
shell successfully, with the command "FS0:/EFI/boot/bootloongarch64.efi".

This has already been reported by Dandan Zhang from Loongson, so thanks for
confirming this issue.


So, I think the file name of /EFI/boot/bootloongarch64.efi should be
BOOTLOONGARCH64.EFI, should not be bootloongarch64.efi.

Or we may have to adjust the parameters for xorriso when creating the ISO
image.

What surprises me though is that the image boots fine on QEMU with the Tiano
EFI firmware, so I tend to think that this might be a problem with the firmware
of the 3A6000 machine, but I'm not sure about that yet.

Would you help to feedback the EFI firmware version info about your

3A6000 machine?

You may use hw-probe[1] to do so.

The step is:

1. install hw-probe package
apt install hw-probe

2. run hw-probe and upload your hardware info
hw-probe -all -upload

hw-probe -all -upload
Probe for hardware ... Ok
Reading logs ... Ok
Uploaded to DB, Thank you!

Probe URL: https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=yourmachinestring


3. feedback the your machine's hardware info Probe URL.


The hw-probe had already mask your Private information,
(including the username, machine's hostname, IP addresses,  MAC
addresses, UUIDs and serial numbers) is NOT uploaded to the database.

If you has any questions, please don't hesitate to ask in this mail list.

Thanks!
