Linux installing on GPU-equipped PC
Following steps could be a general troubleshooting for installing Linux on GPU-equipped PC.
The problem I faced when booting Linux install/live media (DVD or USB) is that:
- Monitor is blacked out after (automatically) selecting boot option
- Boot process is stuck with some video output message
This is obviously video output setting problem, although I noticed this after googled several times and keywords :) In order to proceed the booting process, it is needed to change (UEFI) BIOS boot option by:
- Enable on-board graphic (i.e. Enable multi-monitor)
- Set on-board graphic as primal
Importantly, monitor should be connected with on-board graphic output only, at least for first setup.
