[SOLVED] usb archlinux boot goes black hanging

addrae · 2013-03-21 18:47:33

Hi

I have a thinkpad Edge e330 3354. Currently i have grub2 with ubuntu and win8 dual booting. I want to replace ubuntu with arch. I found out i had UEFI so i followed the instructions to install UEFI version of usb installer. However whenever i boot my usb i can choose the 3 options:

Archlinux
shell1
shell2

and after picking arch it just hangs in black screen infinitely

Appreciate the help, thanks!

edit: I missed trying to add kernel parameters, i just did this with nomodeset, and also tried the SVIDEO one, no luck

Quite possible a problem with SecureBoot (something Windows 8 does for security); try going into your BIOS and setting all categories in SecureBoot to "Allow Execute." Not sure where it will be for you; for me (on Clevo P150em aka Sager NP9130) it was under securtiy -> custom settings for secure boot (that's paraphrased) -> image execution policies (also paraphrased) -> "allow execute" for all (except for the top one--internal something or other--which should be left as is: on "always execute").

Wow... so i updated my bios, and (secure boot was disabled by default in this update) and everything now works.. Weird!
