Here is what eventually worked for me on the Asus UX51VZ (refer to this thread ). 1) burn a flashdrive with the iso (Xenial64 and Slacko 6.3-64 both worked) using Rufus. Use "MBR partition scheme for BIOS and UEFI" option, file system FAT32 and "Create a bootable disk using ISO image&...

OK fair enough. I will mark the thread as solved, and I will also post in the "laptops" section to document what has made it work eventually.

Just to try it and see what happens. At boot access the bios setup. Just as it boots and before Grub boot loader takes over. Usually press and hold F2 key will bring up bios setup. Look for something about disable secure boot. Disable secure boot. See if that helps any. Could have legacy boot enabl...

I've been using the method of the first post (boots just fine on other machines). I do have the initrd /initrd.gz line in grub.cfg, I only posted the kernel line to show the various kernel options I tried (some of them, all of them... always same result) I have also tried burning the .iso with Rufus...

OK fair enough. I can actually let TV running permanently on the laptop, and the password won't change until I reboot the laptop or shut down TV. So I can still make your package work for my purposes.

Thank you for your work.

I pretty much tried all combinations of kernel parameters at this point and always end up with the black screen... my last attempt was with: linux /vmlinuz nomodeset pmedia=usbflash i915.modeset=0 nouveau.modeset=0 acpi=off pfix=nox I am running SLacko on my old laptop now, and might end up opting f...

Hello, I am on Slacko 6.3 and I would like to report success running your latest .pet package from the post above. Unattended access, however, is not working ("Teamviewer needs to be installed first"). I found this and was wondering whether maybe you would be interested to make a .pet of i...

Hello all, Sorry for the delay, I've been traveling. - No luck with LxPup, same behavior, black screen or stuck on png splash screen - No luck with placing the .sfs files on my hard drive and pointing to them in the grub.cfg - I have no option concerning my graphic card in the bios, however the Asus...

Place it next to the puppy_main.sfs. I think you rename it like this: If your main sfs is puppy_tahr_6.0.5.sfs you name it fdrv_tahr_6.0.5.sfs Disappointment, that didn't work... downloaded the latest sfs firmware file, copied it on the usb, renamed it fdrv_xenialpup64_7.5.sfs... (no need to add a ...

- I was just experimenting with removing the files to try and see at what stage the boot process was hanging. I put them back after that of course. - already tried nouveau.modeset=0 and pfix=nox, and the combination of both in the kernel line of my grub.cfg, no chance, no prompt... black screen only...

all I get after the grub menu is a black screen You do not even get to the prompt? With pfix=nox? For the graphic card you will have to look for the nvidia driver, but I would expect you to get at least at the prompt, even without de nvidia driver. Your machine is rather top class ! Maybe Puppy is ...

Hello, Tried for two days now... this machine doesn't have a CD drive so I created a bootable USB as described here: http://blog.puppylinux.com/?viewDetailed=00009 This works fine on two other laptops and one desktop. But on my Asus UX51VZ, all I get after the grub menu is a black screen. For info, ...
