similar to: Unable to boot 9 stable/release on HP EliteBook 8560p

Hi, all. I'm intending to install CentOS 7 on a HP Elitebook 8460p. Does anybody have any experience of this? Many thanks for any help. Cheers, Phil...

Hi there, I have experienced problems on HP Elitebook 2560p and 8460p latest firmware installed: 2560p 68SSU ver. F50. 08/04/2014 8460p 68SCF ver. F50. 08/04/2014 PXE boot, syslinux.efi gets perfectly TFTP transferred, it nevers asks for ldlinux.e64, and immediately gives up. I have traced the problem to: /syslinux-6.03/efi/udp.c\core_udp_open()

Hello, I'm considering the HP EliteBook 6930 or the Dell Latitude e6400 notebooks for CentOS. I'm planning on using these in a situation in which they are always on, and I want low power and low noise and high reliability. HP claims up to 24 hours battery power and Dell up to 19 hours. I figure this can bridge the gap for most power outages in my neighborhood. I realize that I

Hi, all. I'm looking to install CentOS 7 to my HP Elitebook 8460p (Intel i5, 4gig of RAM, 250 HD). Has anybody had any experience with this laptop & CentOS 7? Many thanks for any help. Regards, Phil...

Hi Phil I have Fedora 20, Fedora21, and Fedora 22 installed on an HP Elitebootk Folio 1040. The only problem with Fedora 22 was, that anaconda required a GPT partition table to install an UEFI system. But after having changed from MBR to GPT partition table (using gdisk), no problems any more. I can not explain why anaconda required the UEFI installation: The SD-disk on the laptop is far less

Hello. I've been testing pxelinux.0 (4.04-pre14) on some laptops: - HP EliteBook 6930P with BIOS F.18. - HP EliteBook 8440P with BIOS F.06. - Dell Latitude E4310 with BIOS A06. When booting pxelinux.0, the machines first display some random letters in different colors and then reboot. We've been using 4.02 for some time without problems. I've tested 4.03 too and it seems to work.

>>> I'm just debating what's the best algorithm here.? It would seem if the LoadeImage's DeviceHandle provides UDPv4Sb, use it as it's guaranteed to be the same interface.? Otherwise, we need a MNPSb (EFI_MANAGED_NETWORK_SERVICE_BINDING) that provides UDPv4Sb across the same interface.? Presumably it should also provide TCPv4Sb (rather than being on a separate

Hi there, I can't boot my new Laptop (HP Elitebook 840 G) with CentOS-7-x86_64-LiveKDE-1804.iso. Boot proccess stops very quick with kernel panic. Is there a ISO-Image with more recent kernel, maybe 4.17 from elrepo? Mit freundlichen Gr??en / Kind regards Andreas Reschke

Im having problems connecting to Hidden WIFI networks on my RHEL 7 beta. I have an HP Elitebook 2560p. But if I make the Wireless Access Point visible, im able to connect to it, and NM is able to save the connection script under "/sysconfig/network-scripts". I tried on 3 different Hidden Networks, The solution was to manually create the connection script in

Hi all! I just got a new (to me) used laptop (HP EliteBook 8530p) and find that it has a fingerprint reader. Wondering if it could be made to work for me (Centos-7) I did a lot of googling (well, actually duck-duck-go-ing) and found a ton of hits on either setting it up in Windoze, or others wondering if it can be used in Linux. Some info on setting it up in Ubuntu, and a couple of pages on
