CSM (Compatibility Support Mode) is disabled on new ASUS mobo
Hi. I've just built a new PC and have used an ASUS Prime B560M-A (my last one was an ASUS but different model). When I tried to boot into Tails I had no luck and that's when I found out that CSM is disabled on the B560M-A. This is apparently from an ASUS support page:1. Q: When I use the integrated graphics card on the Intel® 500 series motherboard , why does the CSM option under BIOS appear gray and non-configurable? A: The Intel® 500 series chipset does not support UEFI VBIOS graphic card, hence the integrated graphics mode does not support legacy boot and CSM option becomes non-configurableI've never used a graphics card. I've also read that if you disable Secure Boot it might enable CSM. The B560M-A isn't black and white when it comes to Secure Boot. This is what I've done in my BIOS:
2. Q: How can I configure CSM normally? A: You can use a discrete graphics card that supports UEFI VBIOS to make CSM option configurable
The heading 'Secure Boot State' says 'setup'. This is greyed out and can't be changed.
For the heading 'OS Type' I've selected Other OS (alt is Windows UEFI)
For the heading 'Secure Boot Mode' I've selected Custom.
Finally, I've gone into Key Management and deleted all the Secure Boot Keys.
Does that mean I've disabled Secure Boot? I'm not sure because when I went into BIOS later there were new Secure Boot Keys...
Any help that lets me boot into Tails very much appreciated!
