Hi,
I would like to install ubuntu on my Teclast x98 Air 3G. I know it will be barely usable but I buy the tablet for that ! Even without touchscreen it will be more usable for me than windows. I want to keep the android partition, I already install Mirek’s Android Rom
I managed to boot ubuntu willy from an USB disk following :

or http://www.jfwhome.com/2014/03/07/perfect-ubuntu-or-other-linux-on-the-asus-transformer-book-t100/
I reduced the windows partition ( on windows ) and I tried to install ubuntu on partition 19 but I have got errors. Someting like “can’t access to /dev/mmcblk0p19, device don’t exists” When I do “ll /dev/mmcblk0p*”, I only have a listing from partitions 0 to 7. It look loke the installation of ubuntu can’t access to partition over 7.
I tried to use the command “sudo mknod /dev/mmcblk0p19 b 179 19” to make the partition appear in /dev/. I have the link but I still have errors, “can’t access to device.”
- Even if I install, I’m not sure where to put grub, or if I can use EFI partitions ?
- Can someone confirm us that even without partitions, the bios still working and we can boot from USB device ?
- Is it possible to erase presents partitions and reinstall later the both OS ? Could we brick the tablet by deleting partitions ? Wich partition should never been touch ?
- I’m wondering if I can delete windows, move easly android at the end of the disk. Maybe this will help linux which don’t see partitions over number 7 ?
