Picked up a D34010WYK earlier today, and have been having a hell of a time getting things set up. I downloaded the Generic X86_64 version of OpenELEC nightly build r16519, popped it onto a USB key, and tried to get things installed. I was under the impression (which could be the problem), based on some of what I've read here, that OpenELEC would support UEFI booting. Yet so far, any time I even touch it in the BIOS it renders the machine completely useless. Tried multiple ways of getting the USB key recognized (playing with gparted, using Rufus to format for EFI, building it in both Windows and Linux), but that was a complete non-starter. Once I got OpenELEC on, it refuses to recognize the SSD in UEFI whatsoever. Even tried loading Boot-Repair but it did nothing (GRUB options greyed out, pretty obviously, but even trying to run the standard repair it does absolutely nothing). I've tried searching here to no avail (most of the posts in this thread seem to be UEFI issues with Linux Mint, and not XBMC/OpenELEC specific), and spent about 2 hours trying to hack together Google searches for OpenELEC forum threads to read from cache (as they're still down), so I figured I'd ask here....am I completely missing something or should I just give up on OpenELEC completely and deal with a full Linux install?
