sambow23 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 <still waiting for root device>. I presume that's a USB issue? I already tried booting off the USB 3.0 Port, it doesn't recognize the flash drive. I guess the laptop's BIOS doesn't support USB 3 booting.

sambow23 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Alrighty, after I installed Clover on the SSD, when I rebooted and logged in, I got that glitchy graphics issue you mentioned. But what I don't get is that upon the first boot, it was perfectly fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have full acceleration during installation, that's why you're not getting the glitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
