Tried with single user mode, but installer blocked in the same manner. I attach the screen. Sure you use a "vanilla" unibeast? our notebook should be identical...

mccoy88f seems to have some success (some device not installed properly, see some older posts), but i can't replicate his procedure.

Edit: i can't even reach the installation screen...

Edit 2: i tried various combination of boot arguments:
-x -v GraphicsEnabler=YES PCIRootUID=0
-x -v GraphicsEnabler=YES PCIRootUID=1
-x -v GraphicsEnabler=NO PCIRootUID=0
-x -v GraphicsEnabler=NO PCIRootUID=1
-v GraphicsEnabler=YES PCIRootUID=0
-v GraphicsEnabler=YES PCIRootUID=1
-v GraphicsEnabler=NO PCIRootUID=0
-v GraphicsEnabler=NO PCIRootUID=1

with anyone i can reach installation screen.

Hello!

I just purchased the VivoBook X202 and I am considering the possibility of trying a hackintosh conversion on it, but first, I want to install a working Linux. Windows 8 can go the way of the wastebasket -- well, almost; I've saved the harddrive for reselling the laptop later, never having booted into Win8.

I've swapped it out for a very jerry-rigged Vertex4 (without plastic casing, only metal casing, 3m double-stick mounting tape (the grey outdoor stuff) sticking the SSD's circuit board inside via the edges and the protective thin plastic sheet hdd cover/padding from the OEM hdd previously inside to cover the now open-bottom of the SSD.

I made sure not to get tape on any of the chips or surface-mount components for an easy swap out at some point -- I've seen people recommend putting doublestick tape _ON THE CHIPS_ and this seems like a very bad idea to me if you ever wanted to take the drive out again...

More to the point however, is that Linux, specifically the Gentoo 12.1 LiveDVD, did not recognize my USB stick upon boot. The kernel booted, but the stick was not found afterwards.

This sounds like the exact same issue you hackintoshers seem to be facing. I'd never seen this sort of failure, where unplugging and replugging the USB Stick produced no result in the dmesg (kernel logs).

What finally worked: Turn of XHCI mode in BIOS!

Advanced > USB Configuration > XHCI Pre-Boot Mode [Disabled]

Try this! :thumbup:
