Booting the liveCD/USB in efi mode fails on tablet xe700t1a
- by F.L.
My tablet is Samsung Series 7 Slate (xe700t1a-a02fr). It operates an intel sandy bridge architecture. The main issue about this tablet is that it ships with a windows 7 install in (U)EFI mode (GPT partition table, etc.), so I'd like to get an EFI dual boot with Ubuntu.
But it seems I can't boot on the liveCD in EFI mode. It starts loading (up to initrd), but I then get a blank (black) screen. I've tried the nomodeset kernel option (as well as removing quiet and splash) with no luck.
I have used the 12.04.1 desktop iso (I have read somewhere that it is the only one that can boot in EFI mode).
What are the other leads I can follow ?
thanks
