Anyway I had to redo the installation procedure 10 times before this result. Patience may be the correct attitude... To those that may face the same problem, here follow the different steps I faced: - impossible to find ELI - ELI found, but while booting we get a 'read error' - Everything is OK. I could not figure out what went wrong before, maybe a HW problem.
