Product: HP Elite X2 1011 G1
Operating System: Linux
Hi
I bought by second hand an old "2-in-1" HP X2 G1 1011.
I had it with Win 8.1 but I'd like to install a Linux distro.
As I complete the install process from a live-USB iso, then I agree to reboot.
At this point... it loops:
- shows the HP logo
- writes an error message
- makes a black screen and loops back to HP logo.
Sure there's some problem in UEFI boot settings.
I've seen in BIOS there are 3 choices:
- Native
- UEFI without CSM
- UEFI with CSM
I've tried each one and deactivate the "secure boot option", but nothing worked.
Which is the right options to boot from linux?
Is there any BootLoader that works fine?
Thank for any advice!
Alberto
