boomer bumper Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 When I boot with the -v bootflag, it seems to reboot once all the files are read. At least that's what I think, it instantly shuts down not really giving me a warning about when it's coming up. It definatly runs through a lot of pages of reading files, though. Any ideas? EDIT: Tried all kinds of boot flags. Opened up my laptop to see if there was an extra wireless card, can't seem to get to it. Does anybody have the BIOS settings necessary for this specific system?

Administrators Hervé Posted June 11, 2014 Administrators Share Posted June 11, 2014 Try and reset BIOS, then set HDD mode to AHCI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomer bumper Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Didn't seem to make a difference. Sorry if this is an inconvenience, but I do appreciate your trying to help. I took out the WLAN card last night, that seemed to make some difference in the boot process but it ultimately ended with the endless boot cycle again.

Can you confirm you have the nvidia card and not the Intel display card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomer bumper Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 It is an Intel Graphics Card. Is that a major issue? I saw plenty of posts from people who got it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but without QE/CI. See my post here. More info here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomer bumper Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I was able to successfully boot in from my USB drive. Is there anything that can be done to fix this issue now that I'm in so that I don't need to boot in from my drive anymore? EDIT: Everything working besides Wifi. Ethernet seems to work fine, but Wifi will not even show up as an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click on Wireless Cards on my signature below for list of supported/unsupported cards. To confirm, from terminal run lspci -nn. See what you have on your system.

boomer bumper Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 That seems to be the issue. Just ordered a USB wireless card. I'll ask again just for the heck of it, is there anything I can do so I don't hjave to boot in from my external HDD? Would it be possible to make a bootable USB and just boot from there as an alternate option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
