Did you install in UEFI mode?

To be certain, disable legacy boot while you install Linux.

Hi RehabMan,

For a hard disk cleanest I have decided to cancel all unnecessary partitzioni (Windows NTFS recovery and Lenovo) and rebuild the partition EFI beginning. I recreating efi partition everything went OK
Clover bootloader with win10 and YOSEMITE start without any problem
I did all this with GParted live with Ubuntu and I have dedicated a partition 18gb in ext4 to Linux

I format my usb in EFI mode with RUFUS + ISO UBUNTU 14.04 64BIT
and start
I installed ubuntu in efi mode in those partition (18gb /)
I disable legacy boot and and start the system ....
but clover bootloader don't see the partition Linux.

In attachment new hd


Can you help me please....for trial boot?
Thanks

Clover doesn't need to see the Linux partition. It only needs to see the UEFI loader for Linux on the EFI partition (eg. /EFI/Ubuntu/grubx64.efi).

Post EFI folder.

In attachment EFI folder

In attachment EFI folder

Linux was not installed UEFI.

 

[maurix72]

This is the image folder USB UBUNTU


folder /EFI/boot



folder /EFI/boot/


if copy the folder in EFI/UBUNTU/grubx64.efi
Clover Bootloader don't start

Make sure you run the Ubuntu installer in UEFI mode.

 

[maurix72]

yes...as I described above

 

[RehabMan]

You did not. If you had installed UEFI, there would be \EFI\Ubuntu folder on your EFI partition.

Keep in mind USB created with unetbootin is enabled for both legacy and UEFI boot.

Good evening I just bought a IdeaPad U330 Touch

i3 4020u
Intel HD4200 1366x768
wifi intel (to be replaced)
are days that I try to build el capitan but the boot stops Hmm ... mismatch sizes from 3200 to20, after 10 minute a while the screen lights up and the wheel spins endlessly and the installation does not start

I created the stick with createinstallmedia I included the kext in clover / kext / other (fakesmc, voodoops2controller, RealtekRTL8111)
post my config.plist
best regards francesco
