]]>Neri, did you get any further with this? I just got my own Thinkpad Yoga and am facing the same problems. Everything works fine in legacy Boot but the screen stays black on UEFI boot regardless of the known workarounds.
might it help to first install using legacy boot and later on convert to UEFI?
Not really with Arch directly anyways. What you can do is:
1. Use Fedora 20 USB to boot the sucker up
2. Use Archlinux-bootstrap install (download expand etc)
3. Use refind as the bootmanager seems to solve the dual boot issues
ATM i'm fighting a mkinitcpio segfault. But that is after the installation was basically successful. It would be nice if we can find a way to fix the install medium ...
EDIT:
----------------------------------------
All sorted out. Unfortunately you'll have to bypass the Archlinux Install medium and resort to the fedora 20 installer. I used the XFCE4
version for a smaller download.
Here are the basic steps for a Dual-Boot setup:
In windows (Disk Management) truncate your C: Drive. I ended up making basically what will became /dev/sda4 smaller and didn't not
touch any partition or free space before that. Here's the final Layout:
/dev/sda:
empty space
1. recovery partition
2. ESP
3. reserved
4. windows
5. Linux Root
6. Linux home
7. Swap
The installation happened from within Fedora Live using an Archlinux Boot strap image according to the Wiki for installing from an
existing Linux and the Wiki Installation Guide. I mounted /dev/sda2 (aka. the existing ESP partition) as /boot and installed refind
according to the wiki. Please note, when you install Arch through the archlinux bootstrap method make sure you pacman -S archlinux-keyring
in the bootstrap chroot first before you run the pacstrap command - it will accelerate the process tremendously!
might it help to first install using legacy boot and later on convert to UEFI?
]]>I will attempt the actual (arch) installation tomorrow night and report back. I do consider the current ISO somewhat broken in this regard but can't pin down where exactly it fails. If developers wanna contact me to gather (debug) info please go ahead.
