Q: MacBook (12") 2016 boot from USB

Macbook 12" 2016, m5

macOS El Capitan 10.11.5

Apple Multiport adapter + USB-C ->  USB A adapter.

 

Hi,

 

recently I wanted to reinstall my Macbook retina and I have a problem with booting from usb thumb drive. I have a genuine Apple Multiport adapter and a 3rd party USB-C -> USB A adapter. When I connect the drive with both of these, and select USB booting, MacBook shows "Unsupported icon" and won't boot.

On other macs I own, the same thumb drive boot without problems.

 

Has someone simliar problem, or do you have a clue what can cause this problem ?

 

 

Thanks!

MacBook, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5), null
