Any distro just WORK with UEFI and GPT?
location: linuxquestions.com - date: September 18, 2014
My newest laptop has Windows 8.1 Pro installed on a GPT disk with UEFI instead of BIOS. Of course, I'm not willing to use it as the only OS since I haven't run Windows as my primary in about 8 or 9 years now. I'm a big fan of Debian, but they are, of course, still stuck in 2010 and basically say about UEFI "it may work, may not, who knows".
So, is there any distros that are known to work with UEFI without jumping through hoops, installing a bootloader on a USB drive, chainloading, etc?
Thanks.

Can/Do ANY Linux companies work with an intel i7 processor?
location: linux.com - date: February 16, 2014
I've tried using latest Ubunto s/w, Downloading to CD OK.
BUT then can't load on my PC, W7 64bit , i7 processor.
It says download assistant, tried 3 times but it does nothing, waste of time?
My ? is does any Linux s/w WORK WITH AN i7, When I looked at Debian for examplethey have precise PC specs to download, all old models or only AMD 64bit?
Is there any 1 that will work with my setup please without having to change my system?
Finally why on earth can't Linux be made to suit any system as Windows?
Thanks

Does any Linux distro work with the Llano AMD APU?
location: ubuntuforums.com - date: January 28, 2012
Hello,
I have a Samsung laptop with the 64 Bit AMD A6-3420M APU / Radeon graphics quad core. I have tried several popular distributions, and they ALL result in a blank screen very soon in the installation sequence. Operations continue, but there is no video. In fact, none of the live CDs will even boot fully, with the exception of Ubuntu Precise. I have tried to install Precise to the hard drive, but it eventually dies during file copying, sometimes going back to the live desktop with no error message. I know these APUs have been a challenge, but I've seen benchmarks where Linux has been used with them. The Samsung model number is 305E5A-A03. Thanks in advance.
UEFI / GPT boot with software raid (Ubuntu 13)
location: linuxquestions.com - date: August 24, 2013
So I'm tackling an ambition project (to me, anyway). I have 4 3TB drives and a server I'm building. The goal is to have a single Raid 10 (6TB) system for my new server.
I have a UEFI motherboard (ASRock Z77), and I was able to set up the raid (using mdraid, I set up a single "5.46 TiB" drive) with GPT as the basis for each 3TB drive, but the install and boot isn't working. I've found a lot of outdated information on installing and booting to GPT, but nothing seems to work. I tried building a small partition for /boot and for the grub install as fat32 partitions. With grub installing to a 1MiB partition, I got grub (non UEFI ... grub on the UEFI boot doesn't seem to install) to install and even find the linux installation, but then it doesn't boot. Nothing showed up in the dmesg log or anywher else I knew to look, so I'm sure it never actually hit the file system.
I know I can give up on GPT as the main partition and install Ubuntu (or whatever) to a simple ext4 non-raid
[SOLVED] What Distro of Linux will work with Broadcom BCM4312
location: linuxquestions.com - date: September 25, 2010
I am trying to start using linux, and am new, so sorry if this is dumb. I started out trying Ubuntu, but that didn't work. After that I had tried Mint, and had several problems besides the Network Connector. Now I'm trying Fedora, but if that doesn't work is there a different Linux distro that will work?
