* Can't boot Linux on Non-Macintosh EFI laptop @ 2009-11-28 19:36 Alexander Brüning 2009-11-28 19:47 ` Vladimir 'φ-coder/phcoder' Serbinenko 0 siblings, 1 reply; 2+ messages in thread From: Alexander Brüning @ 2009-11-28 19:36 UTC (permalink / raw) To: grub-devel Hi, I've got a Clevo M860TU Notebook that comes with a Phoenix SecureCore NB BIOS which has a legacy and an EFI mode. Windows 7 (64 Bit) boots fine in EFI mode but I can't get GRUB2 (I tried 1.97.1 with target=efi and arch=amd64) to work properly. Here's what I did: 1.) Install Windows in EFI mode 2.) Install Linux in legacy mode (didn't find any working CD) 3.) Rename the "/efi/microsoft" folder on the EFI partition and overwrite the two .efi-files in "/efi/boot" with a GRUB image 4.) Reboot in EFI mode 5.) GRUB command line comes up (strangely with yellow text), try to boot "linux (hd0,5)/boot/bzImage" 6.) "error: cannot allocate protected mode pages" Any help appreciated, Alexander Bruening ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
