Hi guys,
I have a similar problem. I bought an Acer Travelmate b113 with linpus pre installed. Booting never worked because of some error of which i didn't pay too much attention to because i read terrible reviews for linpus and wanted to install mint anyway. I successfully created a mint boot disk and am able to boot into mint. I went through the install process a few times.. first while creating LVM volume, which failed at some point during the install, and then trying erase disk and install mint, each time receiving errors which i should have noted but forgot to.
Anyway, im now left with three partitions.. or more.
/dev/sda 1 - linpus 512mb --- boot
/dev/sda 2- ext 2 244mb
/dev/sda 3 lvm2 pv mint -vg 297 GIB
When i reboot without the usb disk the message is an error like "no media found" and goes into a boot loop. I can successfully reboot with the usb back into mint but that's not the ultimate goal here.
I also think this is a problem has to do with the setup when going through setup while selecting "erase all data" it wont allow me to delete the partition with EFI or boot.
the message reads
"the following partitions are going to be formatted"
Partition #1 as efiboot
Partition #2 as ext4
Partition #3 as swap
This is my first run at linux so please excuse the ignorance but I'm a pretty quick learner for those who are willing to help.
And to avoid the obvious, yes at some point i did go back into the bios and selected HDD as the first boot option.
