Reply To: How to install – Antergos Linux on the EZbook 3 Pro v4

[Brad]

Oh, sorry. I didn’t realize those OS you are trying to use are based on Android.  They seem to work much different and so it’s not surprising my install instructions for Antergos or Manjaro do not work.  You need to research how to do it with Phoenix/Android-x86. A quick google search I did came up with this. Also, open a new discussion thread for this since this is not related to Antergos.  Or even better, go seek help on the Phoenix and Android-x86 forums.

…”My hassles in getting it to work (on the Vaio Duo) were mostly related to the fact that the new Intel based devices are now primarily based on the UEFI boot process, instead of BCD.  The PhoenixOS files install to the hard drive, but I was not alle to boot to it because the Pheonix OS installer didn’t create EFI (UEFI) boot files that the BIOS would recognize (boot to).

NOTE:  Many of the new UEFI BIOSs seem to have a limitation that they will ONLY boot to the EI boot files in the “EFI\boot” folder on the UEFI partition (which is where the Windows boot procss is initiated).

I was able to resolve these issues by making use of “rEFInd” boot menu software (which can be found on SourceForge).  Using the documentation outlined on the “rEFInd” install page, I renamed the existing “EFI\boot” folder (to “EFI\origional-boot”).  I then created a new “EFI\boot” folder,  and copied all of the rEFInd files there.  I then renamed the  rEFInd boot files (the ones with the “.efi” extension) to “bootia32.efi” and “bootx64.efi.  These are the default file names that the BIOS will look for.  You will also need to rename/edit the sample rEFInd configuration file to meet your needs.  At that point, the system will boot into the rEFInd menu.  That menu will detect the Windows boot files by default.  I just needed to add the required configuration entries to make it boot to PhoenixOS as well.”
