Hi. I have an Asus Transformer T100TA and I want to install Ubuntu on an SD card for gaming. I tried adding a x86 EFI bootloader to the x64 version of the Ubuntu installer, but when I boot it, the screen looks wonky. (The screen is diagonal and separated into 2 sections to show the entire screen, but it's hard to navigate. It was as if the screen was cut from the top left to the bottom right and the halves were switched.) Is there anyway that I can install Ubuntu onto an SD card? Is there anyway to boot in Legacy BIOS?

I thought these were 32bit UEFI only. So they cripple the system to make it difficult to install anything other than Windows.
There now is a 32bit UEFI Linux.Linux 3.15 Kernel Gains EFI Mixed Mode Support
