Reply To: Linux on Atom based devices

[Guillaume]

This is a bit weird. The only ISO that boots as is (only needs to copy the bootia32.efi in /EFI/BOOT) is Xubuntu 14.04. I have downloaded a bunch of releases from private devs for the baytrail devices assuming they should at least boot and was always getting a black screen. I tried a few changes in the bios and it now seems to at least begin the process but my tablet needs charging…

I hear you about the 15.10 but I can’t install it if I can’t boot it live first right ?  And then I don’t want to change the Windows 10 partition for now and wanted to install it either on USB or on SD card. I need to buy a hub USB 3.0 and an USB male to USB male cable in order to charge the table via the hub while having a USB key and a keyboard plugged but it is very hard to find in regular shops, I’d like to find a solution tomorrow. Do you think i can charge the tablet while testing this way ? Do you have a better idea ?

 

Thanks for your answer.
