Well, Knoppix *DOES BOOT OK* on said machine, however, I notice that :

- The boot menu loads fast and clearly displays it is in UEFI mode.

- Knoppix kernel and initrd load fast, afterwards there are several
minutes of « USB key blinks and nothing visible happens » before the
boot process goes (visibly) on an Knoppix eventually loads its graphical
desktop.

As far as I recall, Knoppix used to boot pretty fast on all machines I
tested previous versions on, there wasn't this loooong delay.

However, no error message is displayed, and in the end, it runs.

Kind regards.
