Hi everyone, I've had some interesting discoveries / success with this problem in the past couple of days. Where I am I have several machines to try out. On some of the machines, it works; while on others, it doesn't. I'm pretty sure this all has to do with the video modes now. On my laptop (

Ah, yes -- the gfxpayload variable works. But now after it successfully initializes the video mode, it hangs at the boot with the _ (no output yet at all from kernel). I'm trying to boot ubuntu lucid (2.6.32-22-generic). The EFI boot works on some machines, one others it doesn't. Thanks On Thu
