yesterday, I typed from a blurry handset photo. Anyway, I re-did the experiment and managed to write down the exact error message. As far as I can see, booting proceeds as normal to this point: pciide0: channel 1 ignored (disabled) Then, AHCI is detected and immediately followed by a crash: ahci0 at pci0 dev 31 function 2 "Intel 6321ESD AHCI" rev 0x09: irq 11, AHCI 1.1 fatal protection fault in supervisor mode trap type 4 mode 18b rip ffffffff802ba2f8 cs8 rflags 10202 cr2 0 cpi e rsp ffffffff80b21b20 The operating system has halted. ... While poking around in the BIOS, I also saw an option which suggested that the machine can do something called "EFI OS booting" (or similar). Should I enable this? Kind regards, --Toni++
