dandaman1976 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Ok this is the closest distro EVER to boot this damn centrino 2 asus laptop... In a nut shell Dual booting VISTA on a seperate partition, part1 - MBR Leo4all on partition 2 obviously mbr too... 2.53 C2D on a Intel ICHI 9 p45 chipset 4 gigs mem When I choose efi acpi 1.1.0 (for EFI) vanilla Kernal, i boot it in "-v" i got the intelcpupowermanagement, panic, so i deleted that kext, now when i boot it in "-v" i get something about - com."apple.intelpIIsata.SOMETHING" and it dies there, if i dont boot with "-v" it goes to the gray screen and does nothing, if i boot it with cpus=1 i get to the gray screen, and get the circle moving and thats it... can someone with more exp. help? thanks all... this is the laptops official specs, either its not supported or i am not selecting the right installs... http://usa.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=5&...amp;modelmenu=2 is there something special that i have to choose to make it boot on a MBR with vista already installed?

TootsieJoe Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Well, you've gotten a lot farther than I have. I have tried every distro except the Leo4all 10.5.4 server and I wasn't even able to get to the install screen. It has been driving me nuts!!! Anyone has any ideas?
