Okay so!

 

This is my PE32 image's DVMT entries:

 

 

And this is what my sys showed for allocated video mem:

 

 

So Based on firewolf's article, my understanding is that I want to do the following with the GNU GRUB bootable editor:

setup_var 0x15b 0x4

setup_var 0x15c 0x4

(as my dedicated is 128mb)

 

Problem:

The setup hangs as soon as the load bar appears. It stays there even after a 1/2 hour. 

 

I also for fun tried 0x3, 0x2, 0x5 but no luck. If I put it back to 0x1 then the bar loads again and panics at the same place as before.

 

Any ideas where I messed up? 

 

Thanks again!

Sorry about that! and huge thanks I will give that a shot!

I did not. Have any links?

I've been toying with this E5450 for a while now and have finally gotten some progress, turns out I was an idiot and didn't configure the Bios properly:

 

(I missed this)

2. Press F2 to configure the BIOS

• Sata Operaton -> AHCI
• Secure Boot -> Disabled
• Boot List Option -> UEFI. 
• Enable Legacy Option Rom
• Apply and Exit

So now I am getting I'm getting past the initial loading but it bombs out with this kernel panic:

 

Some notes:
