Ubuntu 11.04 Installation Notes

First of all, this article inquires into the network of the great experience of sharing, in particular, "UltraISO production u disk launch Ubuntu 8.10 LiveCD", the address in http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_5d82f1530100b1qz.html. Some of the steps in this article directly refer to the relevant text or pictures, once again to thank you!

My notebook is Acer Aspire 1810TZ, recently after several twists and turns to finally fix Ubuntu 11.04 installation, happy

1. Hardware configuration

Acer's configuration is nothing to say, mainly without the optical drive, then we can only use a USB stick to install.

2. Installation Preparation

Tried to directly use the ISO UltraISO write to the USB flash drive, found unable to start, no detailed investigation of the reasons, there is another way to start, such as the following:

Start UltraISO, select "Start disc/write hard disk image" in the menu, select "Portable boot/write new hard disk master boot record (MBR)/usb-zip+" in the dialog box.

Then select "Portable boot/write new drive boot record/windows 9x".

Copy dos boot files Command.com, Io.sys, MSDOS. SYS to the USB stick root folder.
Download Grub4dos, Grub.exe, Menu.lst also copy to the root folder of the USB stick.
Create a Autoexec.bat file in the root folder of the USB stick, with only one line: Grub.
To change the command to start LiveCD in Menu.lst, the same way as the common hard disk boot LiveCD method, commands such as the following:

Title Ubuntu 11.04 Livedvd
Find--set-root/ubuntu/vmlinuz
Kernel/ubuntu/vmlinuz boot=casper Iso-scan/filename=/ubuntu/ubuntu-11.04-dvd-i386.iso quiet splash rw Persistent Debian-installer/locale=zh_cn. UTF-8 CONSOLE-SETUP/LAYOUTCODE=CN console-setup/variantcode=--
Initrd/ubuntu/initrd.lz

Boot

The above required documents can go to http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/viewtopic.php?f=77&t=168851 download, but menu.lst need to do as above changes.

Create a new Ubuntu folder in the root folder of the USB stick.
Copy the downloaded Ubuntu-11.04-dvd-i386.iso to the folder.
The virtual CD-ROM drives the ISO and copies the Vmlinuz, Initrd.lz files under the Casper folder in the virtual CD to the Ubuntu folder.
You can start the Ubuntu 11.04 DVD by restarting your computer, setting up usb-zip or USB-HDD boot in the BIOS, or selecting a USB flash drive in the boot menu at startup.

3. Installation

Normal installation, partition a swap, A/and a 100m/boot, A/home, the boot record is written to the hard drive, after restarting the Happy discovery contains Acer own recovery partition (normally Win7 preinstalled when the hidden partition, through ALT+F10 boot) Can be normal display, once the Ubuntu 10.10 seems to be not good.

There is a small problem is the use of the 0.3115 version of the BIOS when found to open the SATA Achi can not go into Ubuntu, closed after not to enter the Win7,faint, looking for a half-day did not fix how to install the driver, finally or directly update the BIOS to overcome the problem, it seems that the BIOS will often need to check the update Ah, hehe 。 Acer Mighty!
