Hi,
here's a second call for testing about this.
Everything in the initial call for testing (quoted below)
is still valid.
Additionally, this time, we're also particularly interested in test
results from USB sticks installed *with Etcher* from macOS or Windows,
started on:
- computers with an EFI 64-bit firmware, with Secure Boot enabled
- 64-bit computers with an EFI 32-bit firmware, with Secure Boot disabled
- older computers that don't have EFI

When reporting results, please tell us:
- whether Secure Boot was enabled on the computer used for the tests
- which application you used to install this experimental Tails image
- from which operating system you installed this experimental Tails image
Cheers,
