Frustrating! I can't boot using standard Ubuntu 12.10 cd in efi mode. If I use
Code:
nouveau.noaccel=1 b43.blacklist=yes
as grub boot I hang at
Code:
Magic Number: 8:204:495
but no b43 error and no black screen.
I assume the reason my boot repair didn't work is becasue I booted from cd in Bios mode and even though I told it to do the Seperate EFI option but it only half did it.
Also I followed instruction on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Troubleshooting
and at grub rescue prompt I typed
Code:
insmod (hd0,1)/usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/normal.mod
but I got
Code:
invalid arch independent elf magic
.
I am in a loop and can't seem to get out of it every effort to fix one issue casues to more.
Is there a way to USB boot in UEFI mode after patching the usb stick with b43 drivers and nvidia drivers? Hopefully the process isn't a 3 day event.
Thanks for the replies.
