My new Lenovo MIIX 320-10ICR came with Windows 10. As on my other computers I wanted to install Linux as a dual boot.
After seeing the installation options (in Suse and Mint) the screen freezes or turns black respectively.
The Graphic Card is Intel HD Graphic Card VGA-20.19.15.4352.
I tried to find a Linux Driver and even contacted Intel but did not get an answer. :’(
Does somebody have a solution?
Hi
At the grub screen press e to edit and on the line starting with linux (or linuxefi) add;
nomodeset i915.modeset=1
Press F10 to boot and see if that helps.
Thanks for your your reply malcolmlewis,
I followed your advice and the screen again freezes at the echo “Loading Kernel … Loading initial ramdisk”.
The USB install medium keeps blinking busily - so something is still happening, but not on my screen!
My suspicion is that it’s a graphic driver problem.
Hi
I’m sure it is a graphics driver. I would suggest downloading a Tumbleweed live release and try that;
http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/iso/
The other option maybe to try a net install of 42.3 rather than the DVD.
Ran into the same problem recently with an install on someone else’s laptop that I do not have access to right now.
Not certain, but I think I may have solved it simply with adding:
nomodeset
and not the additional i915 command.
Try it.
