EFI Boot
Posted: Sat Mar 19, 2016 4:47 pm
Possibly @Mickchip might be able to help me out with this one .
I managed to get a nice little 10" Linx 1010L tablet in the Sainsburys fire sale and after a bit of a play with it i am now trying to get some OS es booting off a USB stick but not with much success so far .
I was thinking that some of our Joggler distros might work but i think i need a little help getting there .
A developer called John Wells has had some success with a efi file he made and it says this on his site , regarding a different model tablet
" When your USB stick is ready, close Rufus. It should now be browseable in Windows. Browse to the EFI\Boot directory, and place this bootloader (named bootia32.efi) there"
So i too BuZz's Xubuntu BTFS and tried the above and it does flash up with the first black loading screen with the Xubuntu choice at the top but then quickly just black screens on me .
I was hoping i could try this with the OSX , XP , Mint builds , etc .
What i want to know is where do you think i should be putting the above file and should i be removing some from the bootable USB stick .
The main issue with booting builds i am led to believe is that the tablet is a 64 bit with a 34 Bit Uefi
Do you think these 32 bit builds we use should work ?
