[SOLVED] I need installation media for baytrail devices.

I tried to make it myself using this: https://tekwiki.beylix.co.uk/index.php/ … il_devices
If you already made it, please share it.

I tried to do it with Ubuntu and I had problems when making bootia32.efi. I Tried to use bootia32.efi from another installation media, but it did not work.
Don't know why, it works fine with Ubuntu.

Re: [SOLVED] I need installation media for baytrail devices.

I was able to make an efi32 bootstick with the bootia32.efi and grub files from a debian i386 install cd (I think it was the netinstall image).

See second posting and leave out the ubuntu steps: http://askubuntu.com/questions/684041/u … his-laptop

grub.cfg

menuentry "Arch Linux ISO x86_64" --class iso {
	set isofile='/archlinux-2016.11.01-dual.iso'
	loopback loop $isofile
	linux (loop)/arch/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz img_dev=/dev/sda1 img_loop=$isofile earlymodules=loop
	#linux (loop)/arch/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz img_dev=UUID=9164-0671 img_loop=$isofile earlymodules=loop
	initrd (loop)/arch/boot/x86_64/archiso.img
}

menuentry "Arch Linux ISO i686" --class iso {
	set isofile='/archlinux-2016.11.01-dual.iso'
	loopback loop $isofile
	linux (loop)/arch/boot/i686/vmlinuz img_dev=/dev/sda1 img_loop=$isofile earlymodules=loop
	#linux (loop)/arch/boot/i686/vmlinuz img_dev=UUID=9164-0671 img_loop=$isofile earlymodules=loop
	initrd (loop)/arch/boot/i686/archiso.img
}

Worked for me with the arch iso in the root directory of the stick. Using UUID for img_dev didn't work...

Or simply give Archboot a try: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … O_Releases

This seems to boot, thanks!
