Ladies and Gentlemen of Linux Land,
I have a a laptop, brand new very nice HP Elitebook, it has 2 hard disks, one Hybrid 500Gb and one M.2
I set the BIOS to legacy enabled, secureboot disabled. got rid of the UEFI boot order.
Then booted up with a UBUNTU 16.04 USB stick and wiped both drives.
Then clicked "install". Set it on drive 1 (the hybrid one as the M.2 will not be able to boot in legacy mode)
All seemed well BUT
at boot up the grub screen appears, then it seems to take a long time and I get the black "busybox" screen and crash out the the ASH shell.
Using GRUB for the advanced settings and safe mode I still get the same thing.
I have also tried UBUNTU 14 (skinned as Bio-Linux)
AS an alternative I reset the BIOS and
I tried switching back on UEFI and reformatting, but still got errors - either the installer could not write GRUB correctly, or I got the same as above.
Truth is I feel more comfortable with BIOS, but do need to embrace UEFI really.
I suspect -
BIOS - maybe I need to clear something or set something differently
The Hybrid drive is not happy or Linux is not happy with it.
Any ideas or pointers - thanks
Trevor
