Hi everyone,
I'm currently trying to dual boot windows 7 and Ubuntu 14.04 x64 on my laptop, and I'm having a bit of trouble. My computer model is a ~2 year old Sony Viao 13" S series that uses an Insyde H20 UEFI system, and windows is already installed: I'm trying to install Ubuntu via an external hard drive set up with the Universal USB installer. When I boot to the hard drive, I can get to the "try Ubuntu/Install ubuntu/check disk" screen, but selecting those top options yields nothing but a black screen and blinking cursor.
After digging around on the internet a bit, I tried playing with the acpi and other settings, but nothing worked. No splash revealed this traceback:
dump stack
panic
printk
mount_block_root
prepare_namespace
kernel_init_freeable
do_early_param
rest_init
kernel_init
ret_from_fork
rest_init
(this is with noapic)
Other potentially relevant settings:
this laptop has a dual-GPU Nvidia setup
8GB RAM
Samsung 830 evo SSD.
Google hasn't turned much up. Any ideas?
