[arch-general] stuck on a black screen (installing Asus_x205ta)
hello, I followed https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Asus_x205ta from start to #Install_Arch and i'm now stuck: I'm booting on a menu with 3 choices: * Arch iso install * EFI v1 * EFI v2 none of them is working: if i select one, the screen turns black 'til i reboot. i don't even know how to get an error message or any other clue. can someone help? also: as i think some people made it, some iso of working usb keys are existing somewhere in the word. why not share those? regards -- Marc Chantreux (eiro on github and freenode) http://eiro.github.com/ http://eiro.github.com/atom.xml "Don't believe everything you read on the Internet" -- Abraham Lincoln

The easiest way would be to ditch EFI and go back to legacy BIOS. There should be an option for this in your BIOS, but you may need to Google around to find the right options to set. Once you do that, you should be able to boot and install from the normal Arch ISO without modification. Max
