27 ## Tails fails to start a second time on some computers ([[!tails_ticket 16389]])

30 Tails starts a first time but fails to start a second time. In some
31 cases, only BIOS (Legacy) was affected and the USB stick was not listed
34 We partially fix this issue in 3.14.1 but are still investigating it, so if it happens to you, please
35 report your findings by email to <tails-testers@boum.org>. Mention the
36 model of the computer and the USB stick. This mailing
37 list is [archived publicly](https://lists.autistici.org/list/tails-testers.html).
