Can install ANY Linux on x120e

Hello, I bought ThinkPad x120e, and my primary operating system is Linux. Now, I have used Linux for 10 years now, and I have not through such a problem until now, even if other people say that they installed Linux on the thing with success.
I tried to boot ArchLinux from the flash drive USB, passes GRUB, but starts then stops at the message "kernel startup".

I tried 15 Fedora and Ubuntu 11.10, the same thing. That once Ubuntu has successfully started (I don't know how it happened, by chance I guess), and it worked perfectly.

I am very disappointed by this

Any help appreciated, thanks.

I found the problem. When I make a change in the BIOS and then select 'Save and Exit BIOS', the laptop will not start hard, but will be the attempt to load the operating system. In the case of Linux, the kernel will not start. When I turn off and turn on the laptop, Linux starts as usual. Is there anyone with x120e, who can confirm this? Is there any where that I can report this bug for Lenovo? Thank you.

  • Can satellite L650D - 12 p - I install a Linux distribution on it?

    Hello.

    5 months ago I've done probably one of my biggest mistakes; I bought a Satellite L650D - 12 p. To my horror, I discovered the inability of the computer to use, or even to install Linux any.

    Since I bought it, I tried about 4 times a month, to install Linux, nothing helps. I tried searching through forums of Linux, tried several settings, etc. BIOS Insyde H2O L650D - just 12 p does not work with any distribution, the newest BIOS (which was released 6 months ago) doesn't make any difference either. ACPI is totally off, the DSDT tables are corrupt. Other people say ACPI general problems with Toshiba machines; It seems I'm not the only one.

    This is how it is supposed to be? The customer is refused, the right to use the operating system he wishes to? We are forced to use only Microsoft products? Even Apple computers can install any other operating systems.

    I thought that the age of the software forcing on people have long since disappeared. Alas, it isn't.

    Hi Sylvestre,.

    In General, you can install what you want on your laptop. Linux should also be possible, but there is no official support for Toshiba how to do this and there is no Linux drivers for this. If you want Linux, see a few external pages for advice and useful tips.

  • Satellite Pro C650 - 18 d - can I install any HARD SATA 2.5 drive "?

    The evening

    Thank you

    Hi haverer,

    > can I buy any make and model of a SATA 2.5 "HDD?
    Yes, you can buy each HARD drive 2.5 SATA. There is no limitation to a certain brand or size, you can buy a HDD with 500 GB or more. Just make sure that it of a model with 9.5 mm in height, so you can install all models with this height.

  • Satellite A30 - after the BIOS update I can not install any OS

    Hey everybody

    I have a problem with my laptop Toshiba Satellite A30 PSA33E. I update my old BIOS and 1.7 and now I have a problem: I can not install any OS on my PC because it stops whenever I try to install. After 50 tests, I installed a Windows SP2, but my PC turns off always.

    My CPU is at 100% after I launch mozilla so I guess my problem is the BIOS. I try to install v1.8 BIOS and is not working and I get an error (not compatible with the installed BIOS)

    Where can I find the 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 ROM BIOS? Can someone help me please?
    THX

    The latest version of the BIOS should not cause this kind of thing. Have reset you the BIOS to its default settings?

    Have you checked the CPU radiator for an accumulation of dust? A can of compressed Air can help remove dust through the vents.

    What was the reason that you updated the BIOS, in the first place? Had previous problems with the system?

  • Not able to install any updates for my computer Error 1606 could not access network location % APPDATA%\. How can I fix it?

    I can't install any updates for my computer at all, even the window updates is one of the many error messages I receive, Error 1606 could access the location %APPDATA%\ network. How can I fix it?

    Hello

    This problem occurs because there is incorrect entries in the Shell folder of the user who is logged on to Microsoft Windows. When Windows Installer goes to the sale of Shell folder of the user who is logged on to the computer, Windows Installer cannot locate the correct entry. The solution is inhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549.

    The steps to correct this problem involve editing the Windows registry.

    WARNING:

    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk. I suggest that you first back up your registry as follows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Back-up-the-registry.

    Here are the steps to fix it.

    Step 1:

    a. Click Start, click Run, type ""regedit ' in the Open box, and then click OK. "

    b. find the following registry key:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell dossiers\

    c. remove the entries that show the path that is listed in the error message.

    Step 2:

    886549 KB http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549:

    Open Regedit a. once again. In the left pane, click User Shell Folders, point to new, click expandable string value.

    b. type the value name that you want to restore (AppData), and then press ENTER.

    c. right-click on this value, click modify, type the value in the value data for the value name box and then click OK. The value data must be: % USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming.

    Step 8 KB 886549 suggests that you also check the values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders. However, by fixing my problem, I had not to change values in the registry key. If this does not work, follow ALL the steps in the referenced article.

  • I have can´t install any printer driver

    I am having a problem when I try to install the Brother printer driver 8890 dw and displays the error message "WINDOWS COULD NOT INSTALL the PRINTER DRIVER in KERNEL MODE", this happens for any driver I try to install, I checked and the printer is compatible with windows 7 on my other computer works normally.

    Hi Lucas,.

    We will analyze and identify the cause of the problem.

    Some of the kernel-mode drivers are not supported in Windows 7, because kernel-mode drivers could allow Remote Code execution.

    In addition, when a kernel mode driver is corrupted, it blocks the entire system as opposed to the user-mode drivers. Please see the link below for more information

    http://www.Microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS09-065.mspx

    You can install the driver that works with Windows Vista, in Windows 7 by Windows compatibility mode.

    Download driver article.

    http://www.brother.com/E-FTP/windowsvista/us.html

    a. connect the device to your computer and scan for the device in Device Manager.

    b. right-click on the executable/program of the driver installation file, select Properties and select the compatibility tab.

    c. click the checkbox in front of the option run this program in compatibility mode for and select Windows Vista from the drop-down list. then try to install the device driver.

    For more information about executing a program in compatibility mode, see the following link.

    Hi Anish,

    If you receive the error 80072efe or 80080008 when you use Windows Store, the cause may be an interruption of the connection between your computer and the Windows Update service.

  • Not able to install any other OS on Satellite M70

    I have a Toshiba M70-181 and my friend has a series of satellite Toshiba M70-189.

    (a) we both are not able to install any other OS outside one (Windows XP Home edition (German)) provided with the product. Is it not possible to install any other OS? Toshiba does not support any other OS?

    (b) we got a German OS with the product. Is it possible that we can get a recovery CD English replacement for the Germany that we have. If yes how?

    (c) is it possible to install Linux on the laptop 2 above?

    (d) if it is not possible to install any other OS is so their a workaround so that we can install another OS?

    [Edited by: admin on 12 February 06 15:33]

    Hello

    Normally there is no problem to install another OS. Just boot from the installation of the desired OS CD and it runs.

    But getting the system to operate with all functions is not so easy, as Toshiba only supports Windows XP for the M70. If you want to use another language or XP Pro, there is no problem, because the drivers and software are almost the same.

    But Linux or something else, to pick up on other places for drivers to work (if they already exist). I remember that I saw some people who got their system works with Linux on this forum.

    Replace the recovery CD is unfortunately not possible. If you want XP in English, you need a full version of XP in English from Microsoft.

  • IDT HD Audio device missing. Do not install any drivers.

    Product name:

    Desktop HP Pavilion HPE h8-1214

    Product number: QW701AA

    OS: Windows 8 Pro x 64

    No audio device installed. (unless I connect all devices usb audio or my hdmi graphics card). When one of those who are connected it recognizes them.

    System changes-

    Power - Thermaltake 600W

    Graphics - EVGA GeForce GTX 660

    PCI PCI - USB - 3.0

    Storage - added 520 series intel SSD 180 GB. Found the whole system on it and formatted 1.5 TB of HARD drive for storage.

    Chassis - Coolermaster HAF - XB

    I tried to install SP59424 from HP support, but it will not be installed.

    After the files are extracted and asking if I want to install the driver, he bed "IDT high definition pilot" - "your system does not meet the minimum requirements for this update. Update has been canceled. (9996)

    I tried to download the codec/driver to many other sites with no luck, I even tried rolling back to windows 7 and the original win7, the same problem driver installation. All this time, of course running as administrator. I also FULLY formatted all my records, restored using my last year HP restore disks and still no sound. I also tried to uninstall all audio devices, (card webcam/usb headphones/graphic) I only put my old DVI graphics card in and still no luck.

    I read in the specs of the motherboard that if a sound card is installed the edge is off. So I've got rid of all the possible sound elements except the edge. Finally and above all I also updated the BIOS to the most recent (listed under windows 7 x 64 support) the BIOS has NO built-in option for audio. It is supposed to be less advanced, but it is not anywhere in the BIOS.

    Need help please, I spent the last 4 days trying to get this to work.

    Say hello to new soriano7709.



    Everything points to what is a hardware problem.  Currently, the device is not detected by any software, including the operating system.  In addition, the device is not detected when using any operating system (Windows 7, Windows 8 or Linux).  It is highly unlikely for the three to have problems with the device unless it is the device itself that has the problem.



    At this point you can either replace the motherboard in order to get the sound edge working again, or you can install another sound card, as in these examples.

    If you think that answers your question be sure to mark the post as solved.  This helps other users find answers to their questions.

  • You can install satellite M100-164 - what hard drive?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite M100-164... This is a version of Middle East the M100, almost identical to the European version, as far as I can tell.
    (short only model no psma0e)

    I want to install a new hard drive. The specification says he uses a 5400 RPM Serial - ATA hard disk.

    I can use any hard disk of this type, or are there other things to monitor (for example depth of drive, the pin configuration?)

    for example can I use this drive:
    "Toshiba MK2555GSX 250 GB 2.5 SATA HARD drive internal
    [http://www.amazon.co.uk/Toshiba-MK2555GSX-250GB-2-5-Inch-Internal/dp/B002752SLU]

    ... or I should he play safe and use one that explicitly says its for the M100, for example this one on Ebay:
    "250 GB hard drive Toshiba Satellite L35-L45 M100, M105"
    [http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/250Gb-Hard-Drive-Toshiba-Satellite-L35-L45-M100-M105_W0QQitemZ190276248831QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Co mputing_HardDrives_RL]

    Thank you

    Hello!

    On the SATA drives, there is no capacity limit and you have on each HARD disk the same pinout. This means that you can use each SATA HDD you want and also SATA2 hard drives because they downgrade compaitible then standard SATA1.

    However, you can buy the cheaper version on Amazon. This HARD drive should work as well in Notepad.

    I hope I could help a bit.
