Squeeze install in ultrabooks with SSD and HDD
Has any one installed dual boot system of windows and squeeze in ultrabooks with both mSATA SSD and HDD? Kindly give links or procedure to keep windows and linux. -- L V Gandhi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I think it is not so easy as I have googled it. Intel RST, UEFI etc making things difficult and many have bricked their system.

However, I'm not aware of any systems currently that don't allow you to turn off UEFI. If yours is one, then return the computer and get one that allows you to install a different OS. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Do you have dual boot system of windows and wheezy or only wheezy?

I think Squeeze does not support UEFI properly. It would at least need a 3.2 backport kernel What did you do to make it work? I have tried two times to get either of: - GPT + UEFI - MBR + UEFI - GPT + BIOS to work on a ThinkPad T520 and the only think that works right now is - MBR + BIOS My problem was that the UEFI boot menu never offered to boot from the EFI boot partition that I made. I think I might have been missing some efibootmgr magic that was explained here or elsewhere before, but as you managed to get to work, I´d like to know the exact steps or a link to a guide that works, before trying again. Why the GPT + BIOS stuff did not work is beyond me – I hat a BIOS boot partition for GRUB and grub-install also seemed to use it. I bet its not really faster tough since the ThinkPad doesn´t take much time in the BIOS anyway. And due to LVM I do not really need GPT, but it would be nice to have it anyway.

Ah, so you are not sure its using UEFI at all? Do you have grub-pc or grub-efi-amd64 at work? Is there an EFI boot partition? Does Debian still boot when setting BIOS to UEFI only mode? If not, you are booting via BIOS. -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
