There are two major hardware variants. Intel-only and NVidia
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This has only been tested with the Intel-only variant
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
== Firmware Configuration ==
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Enter the bios by repeatedly pressing F2 when the laptop turns on
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=== Before installation ===
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These settings are needed both for booting the final install, and installer itself. Therefore, they must be done first.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
==== Method One ====
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Click ''Restore Settings'' button a select ''BIOS Defaults'', not to be confused with ''Factory Settings''
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
==== Method Two ====
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ''Disable Secure Boot (but keep UEFI Boot).'' Thankfully doing so is as easy as changing any other simple setting.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ''Disable Intel hardware RAID and use AHCI instead.'' Intel doesn't seem to provide a working linux driver for this
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
== Optional ==
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
