Install HAOS on Linux machine that has Debian 11 currently (self.homeassistant)

Hi everyone. I am trying to repurpose an old Vero 4K+ that i have laying around. It is a Linux machine running Debian 11 bullseye, but I might need some help i am afraid.

Out of the HA versions, OS seemed like the one I want, for keeping the option for add ons. I went ahead and used the Installation method on generic x86/x64 Option 2. As such i created a bootable usb through Balena Etcher on my Mac, it seems to have succeeded.

After inserting the usb on the target device, it doesn’t let me boot from it. I read in the tutorial usually one would configure the bios on EFI and secure boot, as far as i am aware, the OSMC doesn’t have that. I assumed it would be able to boot from the USB as that is the exact way OSMC is installed.

I am able to bring up the terminal when I press ctrl on a keyboard during the boot sequence.

Do you think it is possible to install HA OS on the machine? I hope so, i am aiming to combine it with a Sonoff ZBdongle-E to start my journey into HA.

Thank you for pointing out the obvious mistake.

I tried the hass route instead, but can’t get it to work due to dependency issues once I try to install the supervisor package. Even though the aarch64 OS agent seems to install without issue. I’m tired of getting it to work.

I have managed to install HASS on a Mac mini m1 through a Debian vm in UTM, that is serving its introduction purposes right now. Likely I will end up getting a home assistant Green at some point, but I don’t find the price that appealing for what it is. Or I need to shell out even more for a n100 mini pc.
