Sabayon on asus x52f-x3

[ihavenoidea]

I have a new asus 52fx-x3 laptop and im trying to install sabayon on it, however i cant boot into the live-cd environment. The sabayon logo comes up and the progress bar completes, but goes black and stops at the end. A similar thing happened to my friends computer (a sony) and it was a graphics problem, could this be my problem too? It has intel gma hd graphics.

you have also try to pass some parameter [F5 at boot] in order to force a different video support...

First of all I would control the checksum (MD5) of the ISO you downloaded.
Assuming everything is OK you can proceed as follows:

Hit F5 at boot and insert:

Code: Select all

sabayon xdriver=vesa

or (assuming your native resolutios is 1366x768)

Code: Select all

sabayon xdriver=vesa opengl=xorg-x11 res=1366x768

Try also with:

Code: Select all

sabayon xdriver=vesa vga=771 acpi=off

If you start regularly Sabayon Live, your issue is probably due to an unrecognized hardware and I believe (but am not sure) you need the [xf86-video-intel] driver for your hardware.

The page you linked contains a guide to configure the kernel in order to use the intel driver module... (should all already in place)

--- EDIT
I see KMS issue this from your link... so try also:

Code: Select all

sabayon nomodeset
