Hi, I just got a Lenovo X220, a one with a i7-2640M CPU. I can boot from cd and install the OS without any problem, but when im going to boot the system for the first time it just stops and give me a menu to choose boot-order (bios). I figured out that this has something to to with the EFI on this machine and tried to disable EFI-boot and only use legacy, but I still have the same problem. Does anyone of you have any pointers here? Best Peter.

Does anyone of you have any pointers here?I had the same issue with a Lenovo T420s, which has EFI booting as an option, but I neved managed to get it working. I had to install 9.0 "the old way", using mbr instead of GPT, to get it to boot. -- Rodolpho Eckhardt <me@rodolphoeck.com> http://rodolphoeck.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
