[Follow-up] Issue resolved – BIOS-only firmware confirmed
Thanks again to the community. Just posting a quick update: After investigating boot issues on Linux Lite (GPT disk, GRUB Legacy, no auto-boot without F9), I discovered that my system firmware is BIOS-only, despite having UEFI menus.
The problem likely came from the missing
partition, which BIOS expects when booting from GPT. I almost tried a risky UEFI setup, but thankfully didn't go that route.
The fix ended up being simple: I used Lite Tweaks → Restore Boot Menu, and it immediately restored boot functionality without needing manual F9 input. Everything boots fine now.
Apologies if the original post caused confusion — all is sorted now, and I hope this helps someone else in a similar situation.
