NautilusIII Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Hi! Has anyone tried this already? What installation approach can you recommend? I need at least WLAN to work and a proper video resolution since I do some graphics editing; sound and Bluetooth is less important. Thanks for any advice!

NautilusIII Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 Ok, first step made. I created a bootable iATKOS S3 USB drive and started the installation from there. My controller is ICH9, AHCI is enabled in BIOS. I have two hard disks, both recognized during install. During install, I first partitioned the empty 2nd hard disk (total size: 500GB). I have chosen MBR and created a 250GB large partition (HFS+). The only custom driver I have selected is the Intel AHCI driver. The install ends with a success message, but after reboot the only thing I get is a clear blank black screen with a little white blinking cursor a the top left corner of the screen. I am pretty sure I have set the partition active, bit will double-check this now. Should I try with a different bootloader, e.g. chameleon RC5? Any further ideas? Thanks!

NautilusIII Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 Update: I have meanwhile checked that the boot flag is set for my HFS+ partition via PartedMagic. Looks ok. Nobody an idea what to try next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
