Ventoy, the popular multi-boot utility for creating bootable USB drives for ISO files, has just released a brand new version, 1.1.
The new version updates the latest Shim, effectively fixing the “verifying shim SBAT data failed” error. The update also resolves any associated Secure Boot issues, making the entire boot process more secure and straightforward.
On the OS side, Ventoy 1.1 expanded its support to the eweOS ISO, a musl-based, lightweight, general-purpose, rolling-release Linux distro.
Continuing with the bug fixes, the developers tackled the boot issue affecting SystemRescue 11.02+, so you can rest assured that your rescue and recovery environment will be ready whenever needed. A few minor bugs have also been polished up, rounding out the overall user experience.
But wait—there’s more. If you are looking to boot and install operating systems over a network (PXE), you will probably get a real kick out of a new iVentoy project. According to its developer, it serves as an enhanced PXE server, designed to be extremely easy to use while providing a host of advanced features.
iVentoy supports x86 Legacy BIOS, IA32 UEFI, x86_64 UEFI, and ARM64 UEFI modes, accommodating a wide variety of hardware configurations. It is also reported to handle over 110 common types of operating systems, including Windows, WinPE, Linux, and VMware images.
In other words, it seems primed to streamline your network boot and installation processes without forcing you to jump through too many hoops. If you want to learn more about iVentoy, check out its official website.
