X120e - ACPI - Dual Boot - Linux Kernel Stall

Hello everyone!
I'm running in a really weird issue. Each time I reboot from Win 7 to Linux (after selecting linux on the grub menu), the Linux kernel will stall, showing some ACPI related message. Is there any way to sort this out? Cause it's really a pain to hard reboot each time.
Thanks!!

Try giving Acpi=off during boot time in the kernel parameter,that might help?

  • Z500 reboot loop due to USB/ dual boot Linux

    Hello, The issue is that if plug in USB (or mobile phone) and then turn on the laptop it will load up to lenovo loading screen and then start flashing after which it restarts and keeps doing that over and over again until I unplug the USB. Normally, I would not care because if i plug the USB in after the laptop loads it works fine. But I want to dual boot ubuntu and with USB not booting up I can not do that. Also, if i try the boot from USB option it does the same thing and after plugging the USB out it says: "System doesn't have any USB boot option. Please select other boot option in Boot Manager Menu." And then opens the boot manager. Laptop is Lenovo Z500 running Windows 8.1, I've disabled the secure boot and fast boot, and USB boot is enabled. Thanks in advance.

  • Dual boot Linux - Windows on Satellite U940

    Hello to everyone.
    I'm quite new on this forum and I have a brand new Toshiba Satellite U940-10N? Using Linux for 2 years, I'd like to install a debian wheezy distribution on it.
    On my former computer, only Debian was installed so I'm net really comfortable with dual boot especially with the ssd.
    I don't really like windows but I keep it to work sometimes on it.
    Do you think it would be better to install the linux system on the system like I've seen it on most of threads, with only the /home on the HDD ? Or do you think it would be interesting to build another raid like it is now for windows ? Would I have better perfomances and speed that way ?
    Another question : is it possible to have an ext4 data partition and make windows to see it or do I have to write it in ntfs ? I have noticed that fat32 and ntfs written on linux with gparted are not reconized by windows 8.
    Those are my questions for now.
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi there
    First let's look at your situation - the U940-10N will most likely be a Win8 unit, right?
    If YES - then the BIOS has to be set up to boot UEFI.
    Secure Boot can be disabled.
    It seems Debian is not so far in supporting UEFI / EFI boot modes.
    Look at this announcement from back in October:
    http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/News/2012/20121018
    So, you will need to make sure your debian flavor can boot in UEFI boot mode.
    If not, You will have issues getting both OS'es (Debian and Win8) to live side by side and boot without issues.
    Next, You'll need to make sure Debian is able to install a boot loader that takes Windows 8 into account and is able to start that OS.
    Looking at storage, I tried to install Fedora on a dual-storage system (SSD + HDD).
    I installed the OS on the SSD and my Home structure was placed on the HDD.
    This worked very very well.
    I think this also provides the best performance, however I have no real statistics to back it up.
    Ext4 is not supported by Windows out of the box, but there is a driver existing which implements ext2,3,4 support for Windows: http://www.ext2fsd.com/
    If You ask me, I would rather have Linux accessing an NTFS partition than have Windows trying to write to an Ext2/3/4 partition. I am fully confident in the NTFS support from Linux but not the other way around.
    If the Fat and NTFS partitions are not recognised by Windows, please check that the partitions are Fat32 or NTFS.
    It may be that the file systems are NTFS / Fat but the partitions have Linux signatures.
    Hope this helps
    BR Tom

  • Any special caution to have a dual boot (Linux + win 7) on a X220 thinkpad ?

    May I need any special caution to have a dual boot (ubuntu 11.04 + win 7) on a X220 with the mysterious UEFI firmware ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Paul

    Hi
    The unit was preinstalled with Win 8 64bit right?
    Changing the BIOS setting from UEFI to CSM and disabling the secure boot prevent the notebook from booting the Win 8!
    Therefore the unit cannot find the bootable device and switches to last option: LAN.
    But since the notebook cannot find bootable system via LAN, the error PXE-E61: Media test faliure, check cable appears.
    If you want to use a dual boot, you have to boot into Win 8
    In Win 8 you have to create an partition for Linux installation. This can be down in Win 8 disk management. You have to shrink an last partition and have to create new one on the available free space.
    Now to start the Linux installation you need an media.. you can burn the Linux iso on DVD or an bootable USB stick. There are many details in internet how to create such media.
    Once you have created the bootable USB, restart your PC with connected USB.
    Press F12 to get the boot menu. Now you should see the USB memory stick (if bootable!!!) choose USB and you should be able to install Linux (Ubuntu is great!)
    Here is a nice page which would provide the whole step by step instruction!

  • Dual boot Linux and XP on Lenovo 3000 J205

    I have a 3000 j205 (I think. It says 9686-A12 on the tag) and a friend of mine set it up for dual boot with Suse which works well and XP which can't access the internet. I called customer support and was told that since my mother bought the machine (she died a year ago of Cancer) that they could only talk to her. It's a Vista box that never worked right for her (she gave up after 3 months of trying to get it working, tech support coming out and even my brother and kids trying to make it work longer than 20 minutes on the net) I figured out that the drivers for XP to run the network card are missing. It even sees the wireless router in the line and the Comcast cable modem, but it still swears the internet isn't out there. Any ideas? The original Vista had the same problem trying to access the net.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I tried downloading the Ethernet drivers on the Linux side, but couldn't get it to cross to the XP side (like I said, I'm a newbie) What I did figure out on my own was to get a Netgear wireless transponder, which allowed XP to access the net and download all the XP updates to SP3 (84 plus!) then it autosearched the drivers needed and voila! It's now on the net!

  • Dual Boot Linux

    Hi everyone,
    I know you'll think that this has been done to death, but I pray you read on first...
    I am studying for my RHCSA/RHCE examinations and would like to dual boot REHL if at all possible on my Macbook Pro.
    I understand that I can use various virtualization tools to do this however a significant part of the sylabus centres around KVM based virtualization and as such I am unable to achieve this through the existing emulations (VTx issues).
    Can anyone provide any guidance on the above bearing in mind I am running Lion.
    Best Regards,

    It's doable. Best help resource is the Ubuntu forum since that version is the most widely installed version on Macs. And, check out the Red Hat forum to see if they provide any discussions on doing this.
    Basically it's a problem of getting grub to recognize the two OSes and also not destroy the OS X boot loader.
    An alternate solution is to download and install rEFIt - CNet Downloads or MacUpdate. Essentially you partition the drive and install OS X on the first partition. Then boot the liveCD of Red Hat and install on the other partition. Then install rEFIt which will provide a boot loader that lets you easily dual boot via the OPTION boot manager.

  • Dual Boot Linux and Windows problem with HDDRecovery

    Hello
    I`m using dual OS Windows Vista and Linux open SUSE distribution on Toshiba Satellite A350-10z, everything is working great except Windows Recovery. I have Linux (boot:dev/sda6) and Windows Vista (boot:dev/sda2). Windows has 2 partitions, Disk C and D, on Disc D i have HDDRecovery folder. After F8 i using the repair option and waiting, then the massage is displayed "The installed program cannot start. Click OK to turn off the computer".
    Before i installed Linux the Recovery worked fine. Is there a chance of using the HDDRecovery from Windows Disk D or i have to boot from Recovery DVD?

    In my opinion Linux has muddled up the partitions or MBR and possibly this is the reason why the HDD recover does not work seems the Recover DVD is your option ion order to set the notebook back to factory settings.
    By the way: I didnt install the Linux on my notebook but I use Linux using the Knoppix Live CD

  • Oracle on dual boot Linux/Windows

    Can you install Oracle on WindowsNT and Linux
    and have both work on the same database?
    Has anyone tried this?
    null

    Some years ago I had tried Oracle software under DOS/Win 3.11 and OS/2 to access the same datafiles, it was not supported from Oracle, bit it was OK, because of the same filesystem and same partitions names.
    You asked for WIN NT and Linux. I believe it will not be possible to access the same datafiles - even with same FAT filesystem - because - as a simple difference - the pathnames of the tablespaces are stored in the database (see view DBA_DATA_FILES) and FAT and Linux-filesystem use different characters to separate directories ("\" in FAT and "/" in Linux) !

  • Mounting dual boot linux partition from Arch [SOLVED]

    Hey guys,
    I have just installed Arch for the first time and im wondering if someone can explain how i can mount my other partition (which is currently used for Ubuntu)
    basically when i first installed it, the partition comes up in nautlius as Mass Storage Drive: 20.3 GB media and prompted for credentials. After a few unsuccessful attempts i was not able to mount the drive and the prompts for credentials no longer displays.
    When i right click it and click mount or try to open it, nothing happens. Does anyone know how to solve this?
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks everyone for the help, i managed to get it working by editing the fstab
    ill post up how i did it, in case anyone else wants to know:
    identify the partition:
    (can use gparted or fdisk -l)
    identify uuid:
    sudo blkid
    edit fstab and add:
    your partition as specified, you can use the existing mounted partitions as a guide to help
    hope this helps
    Does anyone know how to mount the partitions via nautilus/gui?, or at least have it show up as a seperate file system (have the partition appear in the "places" bar?

  • Dual boot Windows and Linux?

    I recently bought a T61, and will be taking a programming course.  One prof I spoke with said they ask us to use Unix tools, so one option is to dual boot linux and Windows.  I haven't decided yet whether I will keep Windows Ultimate, or go to XP for this.  But I was wondering how easy/hard is it to make this work, and what kind of steps need to be taken?   If you could point me towards any good tutorials/guides that would be appreciated too.
    Also, I have never really used linux, so which version is best?  I will be needing it for programming, but also still want to do the basics like web surfing, music, dvd's, burning discs, etc.  I have an old copy of Ubuntu that I never used, but its probably about 4 years old.  Is this still acceptable or will I need something newer?

    Hi,
    If it's just a couple of programming courses that you are going to take I suggest you'd try out VMware player:
    http://www.vmware.com/products/player/
    You can get this software for free and since your system packs a lot of punch it will be able to run it smoothly without any hassle. I'm an engineering grad student and I have to do alot of programming. I've used VMware player before to do some software developement in Ubuntu when I didn't have enough HD to install dual boot but still couldn't do all my other stuff without XP.
    VMware Ubuntu will need a bit of fiddling to get it work just right (USB devices, etc) but it shouldn't be harder than installing a dual boot (actually it is alot easier for my opinion). The only down side is that file sharing between VMware and Windows can be somewhat difficult. I used an external USB drive to share my files but you could always set up Samba to handle file sharing.
    I hope this helps out with your decision.

  • Solaris 10 and Linux dual boot

    I currently have Linux installed and would like to install Solaris 10 on the same system via a different H-drive. I would like to have both OS fully functional.
    I have loaded Solaris 10 CD1 but unable boot into solaris to complete installation.
    I have edited linux /boot/grub/menu, syntax outlined below.
    title solaris in hdc1 known to grub as (hd1,0)
    root (hd1,0)
    chainloader +1
    Still unable to boot up solaris getting error: 21
    Here's my hardware configuration
    Primary Mstr: 1 ide H-drive - Linux
    Primary slave: n/a
    Secondary mstr: 1 ide H-drive - Solaris 10
    Slave: DVD
    Thanks to all in advance!

    OK, folks, I have solved it and here are my last words on the subject.
    First of all, my verdict is to use the Solaris GRUB to boot all the other OS's, just because the Linux GRUB "cannot mount the partition", where Solaris kernel is. The Solaris GRUB can do it all.
    I can absolutely boot my Linux (hd1,0) partition from my SXDE GRUB installation on (hd0),
    for that I use the following section in */boot/grub/menu.lst*:
    title SuSE-10.3-GM
    root (hd1,0)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sdb1 vga=0x31a splash=silent ht=on showopts
    initrd /boot/initrd
    map (hd0) (hd1)
    Yes, "*map ...*" string is important, for GRUB starts the counting from the drive it is installed in. It seems, the author of the original post is missing this string in his bootloader configuration; his Linux is on (hd0) and Solaris on (hd1), so he needs to use the "map" string.
    I must also add to this, that when I booted last time into my Linux (SuSE10.3), I took care to install it's own GRUB bootloader into the Linux installation partition(must be set bootable). You have different ways of doing it, basically you can log into GRUB shell and do this:
    grub> root (hd1,0) --- my linux partition
    setup (hd1,0) -- the partition I wanted to install GRUB into(which IS my linux bootable partition).
    This helps when you've got your first drive MBR corrupted, and need to boot your linux somehow; then you "chainload" from the boot partition.
    However, the example shown above boots my SuSE right away, without chainloading into the GRUB installed into the Linux partition. Yes, Solaris GRUB does that without complain, and I added this section manually to the menu.lst when logged in after the SXDE installation was complete. My homage to the Solaris version of GRUB in this case, which is more capable, than the Linux version. Thanks to you developers!
    If GRUB couldn't boot linux kernel directly, I'd have to use chainloader string (which is also known to work) like this:
    root (hd1,0)
    chainloader +1
    map (hd0) (hd1)
    And the problem I had with installation and partitioning was solved by formatting the whole drive into Solaris. In fact, there had been a lot of partition deletion/creation by me, so the Linux fdisk could see one partition configuration, while Solaris fdisk saw it all different. Well, I can see that disk partitioning in itself is a bit more complicated process, than the end-user wants to think.
    Excuse me for such long letters, I just tried to give a thorough account on the matter. Hope this would help somebody out there.
    Cheers,
    Kostya

  • Best stable media partition filesystem for Linux/OSX dual boot

    Hi there, dual booting linux and Snow Leopard.. I am re-formatting my media partition (which I keep separate from the linux and osx files so as to keep them safe if I want to reinstall/upgrade the operating systems or mess something up), and was wondering as to the best filesystem I should pick? I would do ext4, but from what I understand osx cannot read/write to it natively or in a stable fashion. Keep in mind the media partition will be used to hold/read all the files when using the computer, including when watching movies, playing music, writing documents, storing photos, etc..
    Any suggestions? Thanks!

    gagejd wrote:How bad is this instability with hfs+? Am I going to lose some files or corrupt a few documents when I randomly reboot the computer, or shutdown improperly?
    I rarely reboot or shutdown improperly, so I have no insights to offer into the impacts of these behaviours on HFS+ in Linux.
    IIRC, I once had a catastrophic and irreparable error when I used the command line in Linux to change a directory name on an HFS+ filesystem from being all lowercase to start with an uppercase letter. I had to restore the filesystem contents from backup.
    Other than that, I have lots of minor, easily fixable, but somewhat troublingly frequent errors with incorrect numbers of inodes and such like.
    If you are bringing Windows into the equation, I seem to recall a Slashdot article from within the last couple of years which had a question re: sharing files in a triple-boot environment (Windows, OS X, and Linux). If you can track down the article, the comments may be useful.

  • 975x Platinum PowerUp Dual Boot Issue

    Hello -
    I have a 975x Plat. PowerUp and dual boot Linux and Windows XP. This process works fine on BIOS 7.1, but fails to boot the Windows disk on BIOS 7.4 and newer. The disk still works, it just can't be started by the Linux bootloader (grub).
    I spent a lot of time working on this as a grub issue, but in the end the only thing that affects the problem is revision of the BIOS I am using. (e.g., flash 7.4, Windows does not boot, reboot and flash 7.1, Windows boots).
    I also get an issue where I cannot eject the CD drive on warm boot under the same conditions (like a BIOS boot disc, or a Windows boot disc). Works fine on 7.1 not on 7.4 or newer.
    I have all 4 ports on the ICH7 controller used for hard drives, and the JMicron controller used for a SATA DVD drive. The issue occurs in IDE or AHCI mode (currently using AHCI mode).
    Are these known problems? Are there known fixes? I would like to use a newer BIOS because I have an MS USB keyboard that does not work in DOS mode with BIOS < 7.4 (need keyboard to select OS at boot time).
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Is this how dual boot works in Lenovo laptops?

    I have a Z580 and I've succesfully installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS alongside Windows 8. Earlier I lost my paritions during Ubuntu install and so I had to do a clean install of Windows using the MSDN version and by using the product key retrieved using RWEverything tool.
    Here are my questions:
    When I boot through Ubuntu there is a pause for almost 30 seconds with a blank screen before the Ubuntu startup screen comes up. Is that how it is or is there a way I can fix this?
    When I boot Ubuntu boots well, but the Windows boot option doesn't appear in the Grub boot menu. But if I choose Windows boot option in the Boot Menu (by pressing the small button) Windows boots fine. Is this how it works on the Lenovo laptops? It's fine with me and in fact it's more desirable for me so that I can kinda hide Windows which I rarely use. But I'm curious to know if this is how it works and it's not related to the problem described in my first question.

    I do not own the same machine, but I can make the following general observations:
    Re: the 30 second pause, does that occur before or after the GRUB menu?
    A Windows entry can be added to the Boot menu, which is contained in a config text file.
    I don't know what you mean by pressing the small button to boot Windows.
    My Lenovo laptop dual boots Linux and Windows (but not Ubuntu, and not Windows 8).  The total boot time to Linux is around 45-60 seconds on a regular HDD, and 17-30 seconds on SSD, including Grub.  Windows is about 45-90 seconds on HDD, 30 or so on SSD, including GRUB selection.  That time is from when I press the power button until the desktop is up and the computer is either connected or connecting to Wi-Fi.
    Usually, a longer delay with my Lenovo machine is because of having USB drives attached during boot (though I'm not sure why this causes a delay) or because of updates being installed.
    There are log files created during boot time that you could research and read if you wanted to know where each chunk of time is going.  I think they are under /var/log/boot or something like that.
    Hope this helps some, anyway.
