Steven :)- Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 so lost with this machine not sure where to begin Iaktos s3v7 when i first begin i got dvd drive errors had to resort to external dvd and shut off in bios the native drives got to the install finaly chose chamelon rc4, ati,intel gigabite, chose no kernal, vodo for sound,key,mouse,power stat, achi for the main installed using option -v cpus=1 all went well said success reboot and white screen a bit of hdd activity but thats about it... beating my head on what to do. Bios is has no option for ahci so put it in raid cause that natively sets it in ahci. as well turned off the dvd drives turned off all none needed sata ports turn off fire wire for an extreme detail on my hardware you can go to dells site and look up my service tag. simpley go to dell.com then check tech support then on left side click warranty status then input my service tag then click ok then click the center tab that says sys config 6rclwh1 general specs 4gb 1066 samsung 64gb ssd wd 1tb ati 3870 hpauge tv tuner q8500 intel gigabite lan win fax mobem blue ray dvd rw dell oem key microsoft sidewinder mouse hannspree 22 lcd hooked up via hdmi SOME ONE PLEASE HELP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gringo Vermelho Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 The ESB2 edit is not recommended, it has reportedly caused data loss for some users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
